should i powder coat my rims black?
My dad runs a gym equipment company, (Flex) and i can powder coat my rims for FREE! I have really been thinking about making my rims a high gloss black. I used to have gunmetal velox 17" wheels, and i kinda miss the dark look. Check out my sig and let me know if you guys think i should powdercoat them black of leave them the opal finish in the pics. Thanks ryan.
