Ok I need opinions quick. Next week I'll be putting KDW2's on. Currently my rims are pretty jacked up. I talked to a local guy today about powder coating them black before I get my tires installed. Price was $360 which seems pretty reasonable and they are a well known shop.
So what do you guys think, PC black or leave alone? I'm leaning towards leaving them because I want to spend the $$ on "go" parts. But if I want to do it at all, now would be the time to do it while I'm getting the tires swapped out.

Sounds a little over the top for powder coating to me. I had a set of four done for $160. For that price you could almost buy a blasting cabinet and a powder coating kit to do your own.

Why don't you see if this guy will do it? I know they would have to be shipped but he would probably do it alot cheaper than that.

Powdercoating is the way to go bro, but that's just EXPENSIVE.
