Need some ideas on wheels!

[stray15]

Here are a few pics of my wheels, before and after I removed the clear coat and paint. Should I paint them or powder coat them? What color should I do it? I'm planning on doing the whole thing.

I'm learning towards a black, but what kind, gloss, flat....

First one is the before pic:



And now the after pics:







What do you guys think?

WOW! Those look great. How did you get them so clean? I would powder coat something that pretty.

I used an aircraft paint stripper. It took most of the day to do just one. Sure beats sanding. I like the powder coating idea but I don't know if I can afford that right now. Or for the next two years since I will be starting college.

I have a set of cookie cutters that were painted a satin black with polished rims like yours. They look good.

They look great like they are, if you've removed all of the paint and clear coat.

Just use mag polish and watch em sparkle.

Chrome the lug bolts too. its cheap enough to do. ~$25 or so usually

For those of you wondering how I did my wheels like that, check out the site I quickly put together.
