These will be track wheels only. Because of that, I've decided against powder coating, after hearing some [confirmed] tales of wheels cracking or failing due to the baking process. Plus, I trust my paint guy to give me the best (read: least weight-adding) paint job. I don't compromise at all when it comes to track safety.
Once I get some tyres for them, I will probably have my STi's repainted to get rid of all the gravel chips.
