Should I powder coat my wheels?



I was wanting something a bit more aggressive and I did a quick photoshop of my wheels. Should I go for it? The car would be lowered upon installation of the powder coated wheels.

Put some FULL black on there, and it might be a bit better.

The gunmetal just really doesn't POP on the exterior color. Almost looks as if you have a bad case of brake dust.

So you guys think I can pull it off then if I go full black? Should it be a glossy full black or a dull full black? I would consider tinting the windows, but I would prefer to leave the lights untinted just for safety purposes.

Looks like massive brake pad dust that has accumulated over a period of time longer then I have been alive.

Cool...but when you are going to paint the tail lights do not do them completely black...but tint the white part a bit!
