    not really i think it gives it abit of a rally look, and i didnt want to be a sheep and just do dark wheels as that is done to death.
    
    i also replaced the sax-p sticker with white ones and painted the doorpin balls white to tie in with the theme

    powder coating im not sure mate, depends on the company, probablies a bit more expensive but your going to get a very had wearing surface and a good finish, so its worth it, i seen someones wheels dipped before and there was a load of drips in places
    
    powder coating you need doing professionally, basically the alloy will be charged with a negative charge, and the spray with a positive (may be the other way round) then spray it on and it attaches to the alloys, then its a case of baking them in the oven to harden and give a nice finish, if you were to do it yourself your gonna have to spend a lot on the equiptment lol

    Mr brother's wheels were just sprayed mercedes white out of a spray can... but a lot of work has to go into them before spraying... and as predator said.. they will never be as hardwearing as powder coating...
    
    If you wanted to go down the refurbing and spraying your wheels route, i recommend you sign up for premium membership.. then you can read my step by step guide of how to do it
