Default Wheels now powder coated.

Well after 6 months of not being to happy with my different wheels i finally went down the gold route and im more than happy as now it looks like a proper scoob.

When i got the car


3 months after


And this is how the car is now.

They look loads better mate, didn't really suit the car in the original colour(s) imho

If you don't mind me asking, how much is it roughly for a powder coat?

Does look tons better!!! I wouldn't mind getting mine powdercoated for a matt black finish, but have read on some forums that powdercoating wheels can change the property of the alloy and weaken it.
How true is this?
Also, anyone who has powdercoated, have you experienced any problems yet?
