I think your car look good the way it is. Up to you though. I like silver as a wheel color. Not really a fan of black wheels though. PlastiDip is good stuff too. Comes off really clean in case you change your mind down the road. Powdercoating would be legit though!!

DO NOT get cheap wheels!! You'd be downgrading. You could always save for coils or get a set in the classifieds. You'd be going backwards!

I don't understand why you are considering new wheels?

Just powdercoat them to the color you want. Unless you wanna try something new.

Plan B! Get another set of higher quality wheels. Don't downgrade.
Or just keep wheels. And get COILS!

I agree. Those wheels are hot like Beyonce. Powder coat if u just want a different color. Save for coils. Megan coils can be purchased at a great price from the vendor ssection. If u want hks coils then that's a different story.

Man, if I had a set of iForged wheels I wouldn't be getting rid of them
Those wheels are awesome. Don't plastidip them either. Once they get dirty, they stay dirty.

Save for coils and keep those rims
