here is a closeup of my wheels. I mixed a few colors together to get this combo. It's a charcoal,gunmetal, metallic type deal.

I did mine at my friends body shop. took off the tires, cleaned the wheels with soap and water, used a scotchbrite pad to scuff them abit. Mixed the 3 colors together, sprayed them, baked them, then hit them with some clear, baked again, DONE 3 years not 1 chip

powdercoating rims is THE ****. It comes out super glossy and it's pretty good and resisting nicks and scratches and peeling and such.
The nicest powdercoat i saw was on "orange county choppers" when they painted the black widow bike's rims red, oh **** they were hot.
