Default Question About Powder Coating Volks

well i have 2 bronze 16" volk te 37's in good shape, however i've been looking through all the archives and classifieds to find 2 more bronze 16" volks to match, but all i can find are white volks in 16". how bad is the quality if i were to paint the white rims to bronze to match or if i just powdercoated all the rims black, will it look anything close to the real black te's? i dunno what i should do, suggestions are helpful. and im sorry if this is in the wrong section to post in. thanks in advance.

If you have the money, then powdercoat them. Otherwise try painting; worst comes to worst, you could always powdercoat them if you don't like how they turn out after using the can.

Umm, with Volks I just couldn't stomach taking the ole can to them. Just source two more wheels and have them all powdercoated your favorite color. Will look great
