Default Powder coated wheels
I had my factory 20" wheels powder coated gloss black. At the same time I had my sisters TT-S 19" wheels powder coated. I took some pictures so you guys could see how they turned out. I can't wait for spring so I can put them on

I like how they turned out. One of our Golden Horseshoe members did the same thing (different colour) and they turned out great.

Thanks for the pics. Post when you have them on the car in the spring.

If you don't mind em asking, how much did this cost and is there a benefit in doing so? For example does it make the rims more resistant to scratches? Also, does this wear off after a while?

If the powder coated done right, it will last for years.

It is way more durable then paint and will last a long time, it will not wear off. It cost me $100 per wheel plus mount and balance so $550 tax in.

$100 per wheel is reasonable...but does it included fix curb rash?

they actually look perfect and you can lower it about 2" and still have aplenty of room. 23s fit nicer.
