Question Rim powdercoating Help

Im interested in doing something different with my rims this year. I dont want to go chrome. Im wondering if there is a powder coating finish that looks a little like ceramic coating on headers. Any body have any ideas or pictures of rims in different colors or finishes?

Yes, there are powdercoatings that look almost like chrome. Actually they look almost exaclty like polished aluminum. That would be a trick way to get a shiny wheel without worrying about chrome rusting or the maintenace of a polished rim.

Powder coating is available in almost any color you want these days. If you want maintenence free, have them coat them with clear.

I don't have the pics but, there was one guy on here that had a White L and did the wheels in white. Looked pretty cool.
