Also, it's powder coat, not power.

I would suggest against it....

powder coat cost ~70-80 bucks per rim....spend a little more $$$ and get aftermarket rims.....if you are tight on cash, then just paint em....

i see you are in CT and it does snow down there so painting IMO is your best option....

I'm getting ready to plexidip my rims. You may want to look into that and DIY. Then if you don't like it, just peel it off. No harm to the rims. What color are you looking to have them done in?

agree with swoosh, PC stock rims is overkill, just paint them.

I personally love the look of stockies and have them painted black. Gonna repaint them in may (after bout six months) and gonna do it right this time by sand blasting everything off. The stock paint is soooooo hard to remove by had even with two cans of aircraft stripper. Good luck.
