    I voted Semi-gloss for aesthetic purposes but I'd have to to flat black for function ability...if that makes sense lol

    I was thinking about getting a flat black powder coated rim....I get a good deal on powder coating.... I haven't found wheels I really like yet. Plus I am going to need new tires soon so I am kind of trying to do them at the same time....And I still need winter rims...the salt is harsh here when we actually have a winter.

    Anyone have any pics of a 30% gloss powder coat?

    Is around $70 a wheel for blast and powder sound about right?

    I got a set of 2012 OR wheels I am thinking of doing this to.
