This is the look im going for...

So should i get these painted or powdercoated? And any suggestions where to get it done at?

powder coat for sure

Deff powdercoat. paint chips way to easy when you mount new tires on fresh paint.. Eastcoast powdercoating is whre to take your rims too.. they do all my work

powder coating is way more durable and for rims i would want something that would last for sure so i would powder coat if i were you

i paint cars... and im 80% sure powder coat is a lot more durable and chip resistant... but its deff always prep work b4 paint no matter what, that makes the difference when it comes to paint adhesion!:thmbsup:
