            Would be easier to keep clean!! Depends on the colour of the car...would look good on a White, Red or Signal yellow car IMO. Plus it would be nice to have a spare set in silver aswell!

              not sure on powder coating wheels, but with the parts etc on my car powder coated parts are prone to marking ie scratching marks when cleaned even with delicate cloths etc, imo

                  I'm not a fan of powder caoting either only on certain things that are not polished , servo tower bracket axle casing

                  the blaster I use charges £10 a wheel EXTRA to blast as its a nightmare to remove , and it damages quite easily, paint you can touch up too

                    Aaro, not having done any work on this type of wheel I couldnt help you on this, I was only giving an opinion to powder coating, that it marks quite easy, paint would be the obvious choice.
                    The boys who have these wheels will no doubt answer your question

                            IMO, entirely black wheels look as though they are covered with brake dust and look dirty. Wheels make cars, so needs to be right. Each to their own though.
