    Isn't that something you shouldn't do? As in - you shouldn't powder coat the rims where the rubber seals to the rim?

    Just curious.... I'd be afraid the stuff would chip off and cause leaks in the tires. BUt that's me.

    They look awesome! Definately better than spray paint for durability.

    the wheels are sick. i'd say mount them then see if the carbon sticker works with it.

    Those turned out damn nice. What would you think of getting the Black Lug nuts. I did it on mine and I liked it better with the solid black.
    But your wheels look awesome.

    Are those 265/70/16's? You should upgrade to 75 series down to road... I think it would fill the rear wells better.
