Painted? What's the durability of the paint on wheels? Will they chip? $110 is about the same price to powdercoat a wheel.

so far so good i'll let you know within 6 months if anything happens but i doubt it.. yea its the same price to powdercoat but he was saying because i was kinda unsure.. and if i ever want to change which i probably will powdercoating will be harder to remove and paint over =p

That re-finish on your wheels really took your car to another level. Great decision on the color scheme!
