should i powdercoat my wheels

Nothing wrong with powdercoating. The stock Rays are hot! I am going to PC my wheels to hold me over until I get rims.

handles will have to be painted, as they are plastic. The bodyshop I use charged me 390 to remove and reinstall plus paint the handles and taillights.

Not much stock rims look like the 370z sport wheels so I'm guessing not much people think they are stock. Its just us 370z owners freaking ourselves out thinking people will know.

Ya... I get a bunch of ppl asking what kind of rims they are and where I got them. They find it hard to believe that they are stock.

I'm thinking of powder coating mine too. But I agree powder coating some stock wheels do look ricey, but then again these aren't your typical stock wheels. Its funny because I was day dreaming the other day customizing a Porche Cayman S and they actually powder coat wheels as an option

I don't think these stock (350z) wheels on my car look ricey at all, but then, if I did, I wouldn't have them on there.

My street set, maybe slightly, although they are Nismos, and not really stock, but its for my business.
