So I've been thinking about powder coating my wheels lately. My wheels right now are matte black Ce28's. I've come down to 2 choices and I cannot choose which one. Maybe you guys and gals can help me out? ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Option 1

or Option 2?

go with option 1.
A blue car with white rims look stunning. However, vice versa does not look nice IMO; a white car rarely will look good with blue rims. Its very difficult to pull off. The only few examples I have seen that look decent have more of a baby blue colored rim or a light color lip so that the rim doesn't appear to be "too blue" (lack of a better description haha)

Just for you information, there is alot of talk about powdercoated wheels severely decreases the life of the wheel due to large amounts of heat used to bake the powder. Try googleing "powdercoat wheel crack". Just paint it.
