i tryed to post in the wheels and tires section but for some reason it wont let me. i also tried a search but found nothing. i was wondering what you guys think about painted or powder coated 99 si wheels. thinkin about gettin em painted black..just wonderin if u guys have seen this before and how u think it looks.thanks

 

i've seen them painted bronze or black and they look pretty good

 

i've painted mine last summer with dupli wheel paint gunmetal color. looks fine to me. powder coating it will have a better look but hand spraying is more cost effective. i've seen some painted black with a polished lip too.

that took three seconds

 

I've seen a picture of Si wheels powered coated flat black before, and I thought they looked great. Keeping the original finish looks alot cleaner though.

 

thanks for all the input

 

i like the oem polished look, but if you like them black, do it

 

There's a couple of threads out there, but here's mine.

i like this a lot!
does powder coating makes scratches look not so bad?

 

looks good....but once you paint or powdercoat it, theres no turning back
