Powder coating wheels increases the chances of cracking in the future. I heard this from pros with experience. No one can say it will definitely happen but some wheels that cracked were powdercoated. Apparently the process is very heat intensive and affects the structural integrity of the metal.

I think that looks great... Really clean! This is how the car should have come from the factory IMHO.

The Lexus stock wheel color looks great on any color GS, personally would not powdercoat those in Black. How about getting into another set of 20"

My side is the drivers side shown, where as Designo has his passenger side shown.

My passenger side looks the exact same as his.

No difference.

Did you powder coat the rims? Why are they so dark?
