Question What do you guys think?

The previous owner curbed all four wheels pretty bad, I have a guy who will repair and powder coat all four for $300.00. Do I keep them silver or go black? The windows are getting smoked the end of the week as well.

Thumbs up

Normally I'm not a paint the wheels black kind of guy but with smoked windows I think it will work really well with that car.

Any of you guys have any experience with the durability of powder coated wheels?

Powder coating is very durable. The downside is if it chips (curb etc) it can deteriorate quickly.

That being said, I think Black wheels would look very good!
