Should I powdercoat my rims?
So I have been trying to pick up a black set of 22" rims for my chrome 22" rims, but no luck so far. I deffinatley do NOT want to keep the chrome lol. I am thinking of powdercoating my motometal 950s. What do you guys think? If I do powdercoat them I am going to black the rest of the truck out.

I would powder coat them black, look on craigslist for services offering powdercoating you will a ton of people, but it not gonna cost you much to black out the rest of your truck and I definitely would.. just paint your head lights black, nightshade your tails and get somes black badges, probably costing you about $100 to do all the rest of the mods.. just an idea would look good in imo.

I emailed a local company, they said 95$ per rim. Does that seem about right?

$95 is a reasonable price, mine were $450 for all four and mine are only 17's.
