I just got my wheels back from the powder coater. They did a good job masking off the edges, and the results look great, much better than the original gray centers.

Bah, I like (and will have) grey centers:P

Edit: not to imply yours don't look nice, because they do, but my personal preference is grey:)

My wheels were supposed to go to the powder coater on Thursday of last week. Hopefully they ship this week. ;)

I like those a lot. I have my Explorer intake at powder coater now. I hadnt thought about the wheels but my vr 45s look oxidized. Might go dark gray.

I have a friend who used a rattle can and painted them himself. Turned out great. It has been over a year now and still looking good. Its all about the prep you put into it.
