Opinion poll - Wheels, to paint or not?

Anyone want to weigh in with opinions - thinking of powder coating my factory wheels, either Daytona Grey to match or satin finish dark grey (a tone between Daytona Grey and black) like I saw on a new RS4 at the local dealer.

If I do it, would like to leave a polished or silver rim, but may not have a clear break line to do it.

Anyone, anyone, Bueller?

Mine are painted....its all about the prep... - ub2slw 2008-01-08 10:15:03 (71 views)

I like the 5 spokes in 'titanium', but the center caps kill it for me on these. - Sarge 2008-01-05 20:47:16 (66 views)

look at my pics to see if you like the color match concept...different wheels but it will - 16 Wins 2008-01-04 12:31:22 (103 views)

Skip the lip but full daytona finish would look great...love my 19s with the titanium finish. - MARKNMTT 2008-01-02 13:47:42 (101 views)

I think it looks sweet! Plus brake dust will be hidden.. which the RS6 has much of! - Copper 2008-01-02 11:08:22 (73 views)

Do it, but do the whole wheel. A polished edge only looks right with a proper lip. - koz4.2 2008-01-02 10:21:16 (64 views)

I agree! Do the entire wheel if at all. - French-Fried-Rings 2008-01-02 12:38:25 (66 views)

What climate do you live in? If warm, you might get away with it but salt, debris, etc... - DaveyKid 2008-01-02 03:28:33 (98 views)

It's Houston, plenty warm. Are you suggesting - RS6-4dr911 2008-01-02 05:04:39 (104 views)

I just meant no matter what there will be small imperfections in the process and salt will get in - DaveyKid 2008-01-03 05:53:20 (72 views)

Having lived with the dark finish for awhile i think it will be fine...plus the brake dust on the - MARKNMTT 2008-01-02 13:52:14 (90 views)

Clearcoat over color adds some protection but if you have the cash to paint - Dr.Aronis 2008-01-02 06:39:26 (109 views)
