I had all mine done at Classic Coatings. Full refurb and powder coated. When I got them back they looked like brand new wheels.

The gold is slightly lighter than the standard colour which I like as it's something slightly different. Those that have seen then up close have had nothing but positive comments. All 4 wheels £260

Errrrr powder coated 18" Team Dynamics......I don't think so Standard alloys possibly but then wet painted wheels won't withstand weather,brake dust, road salt etc over a sustained period of time.

It's all down to what you want on your vehicle and you only get what you pay for nowadays!

Yea i mean thats alot for standard alloys, its just the center caps that lost abit of paint nothing that much they just need touching up.

I've done full refurb on set of alloys never had any problem with paint coming off.

If Jobs done properly will be fine.

That is pricey for a powder coat , should be no more than £50 per wheel, there's a place local to me that does them for £170 for 4 and a good job too.
Op as to the silver/grey colour wrx wheels, mine came in same colour from a blob wagon don't know why they are that shade silver but I liked colour until upgraded to brembos and had to go, sorry cant help on cc

You could try taking the centre caps to a local wheel place. Ours would spray them up to match the wheels for around £20.
