Powdercoating Question

I have a White c300 w/ 18' AMG rims. I was thinking about powder coating the Stock Amg Rims in black. Its not that im trying to be cheap, i want to keep it as stock as possible. Is it worth it to powdercoat the oem rims, or should i just get a aftermarkets?

if you like your amg rims, then just powder coat. it should cost about $100 a wheel. i think it would look sweet! post pics if you end up doing it.

if you really want to powdercoat, do it black and get a time attack in white.

time attack is a ring around the lip of the wheel!

it will give it contrast

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
I think it would look good if you left the machined (diamond cut) face alone with black. I was considering an anthracite or charcoal with the macined face.

I'm excited to see this as I have a white with Pano roof and 18 amg.

Is powder coat the only option or can you just have it painted?

BLACK!!!

Post some photoshop pics thanks.

what is an example of what the finished product will look like with a black powdercoat ? Do they still have an alloy or chrome lip? Or is that what "machine-ing" does?
