On an STI I might powdercoat, but this was on my daily driver.

^^^ James, I been trying to tell you. Powder coat them black, the car will look sooooooo nasty. Then get a lip and call it a day.

There is always a heated debate about powder coating vs. painting and how powder coating makes the wheels weak. My stock BBS have paint chips here and there not to mention when you take the wheel weights off it rips the paint off the rim sometimes. But im cheap and i am probley going to just go get the Duplicolor wheel paint because i heard it does work really well and doesnt chip easily,etc.
