paint if you're broke.. but make sure you find out how to do it right so it wont look like ass..
powdercoating looks really good, but is somewhat expensive..

powder coating will definitly last a whole lot longer.

ooh I'm not gonna do it myself, I was gonna take them to a professional.

Also what do you guys think would look good on a blue car: white or gunmetal. Everyone has black ones these days so I'm not getting that.

 

[Mr. Lin]

what shade of blue?

 

[rolakers]

like a dark blue

if your having a shop do it, then powder coat. i painted my HX's with duplicolor wheel paint, took my time on them and all that. it turned out EXCELLENT, and ive never had a problem with chipping and scratching

I'd like to see some pics of my old HX's. But on the topic at hand, IMO just powder coat em. I had my slips powder coated for 250. Painting wors but PC is better.

What kind of wheels. As long as they're not forged PC is alright.
