Mine aren't powder coated, but they're painted a gunmetal color with a polish lip

Not gen 5, but gen 4 swirlies painted gunmetal






At first I was affraid to spray paint them for fear of them coming out too ricey, or just being ugly but they actually came out pretty damn good.

p.s. ignore the rimzez not all going the same direction, at the time i had done the ill at home ghetto tire rotation

you could probably just paint them yourself for a lot cheaper. I once had black powder coated wheels then they chipped like a ****! Then I ended up painting them and they turned out way better, and price was a lot cheaper too.

But if you do powder coat, be sure to get them sand blasted first. not all powder coating companys will do it for you. it will help out a lot.

My buddy just painted his SH wheels black, turned out good. ill have him post some pics.

must be something wrong in the process, a properbly done powder coating will last alot more than just spray paint.

not really sure about the whole painting stock wheel thing tho
