Powder coating rims this weekend - thoughts?
Thinking of going this route maybe a few shades lighter. Currently they r silver with clear coat. The clear coat is already peeling so im thinking of going a diff route. Changing rims isnt an option right now. Any other color options i should consider?

I personally dont care for the gunmetal on your car. I would say keep as is and re clear or the black with polished looks good too

if you go powdercoat. Get a coat of clear. Protects it and gives it a nice glossy shine
