   I have just had my speedline wheels blasted and look mint but I'm lost as to if I should paint them or powder coat them ? Also I can't seem to choose what colour to do them so any ideas

   Powder coating gives a much better finish. If you have the money then get the professionally refurbed your get a much better result than doing it yourself (unless you know what your doing)
