Sell, Paint, Powder Coat?
I have a set of enkei 17" rims on my yaris right now .. I want to go with black wheels now to complete the straight blue/black look.
The wheels I have now work fine but are like twice as heavy as my stocks (probably not twice ..but they are extremely heavy..comparatively) so should I... take them off and ditch them on craigslist and buy a black set Take them off and paint them a satin black like the rest of the car has for black stuff. have a friends dad powder coat them at work... thoughts?

Hmm. I would powdercoat them black. And then see how they turn out first. Or easy way have someone photoshop them black and see how they look.

powdercoat > paint
I've tried both and paint just doesn't last!

well i found a buyer for my rims at $300 so i'm going to do it :)
i had a couple others interested at $350 we'll see who commits first :) I had a piece of screen printing equipment i didnt need that i am selling for $125 so if i feel like dumping it all into new tires/rims i'll have 425-475 to spend :) which should be good craigslist style :) i might still hold out for a really good deal so i can pick up a set of those niabodykits eye lids :)
