I'm going to need to see pics when you do this. I'm thinking about doing the same when I need new tires. I'd go powdercoat though.

I had mine done at Central Powder Coating in Brea. Check out my garage to see the rims. Quality is great, no issues what so ever. I have gloss black with a clear coat. Great company.

Yeah that's the one factor that keeps me from getting it done. Such a hard decision. I may just wait and buy a set of black zcps.

Personally though I prefer the black ZCPs to the black 220s. |

I've seen gloss black 220's and they looked amazing. Way better than I thought they would look.

I had forged wheels painted with normal auto paint. They did a handful of coats and clears and they had no paint chips or flakes 1.5 years later.
Ive also seen forged wheels that were powder coated, literally soften up at the track and fall apart on the hub. Be careful.

When I last had forged BBS wheels. I called them and asked them if I could power coat the wheels and they flat out told me DO NOT do it. And that was on a FORGED wheel. I mean... its up to you OP. Dont even think about it with a cast wheel. That's just asking for pain.
When you powder, you weaken the metal. It becomes brittle. Maybe you can drive around town for many years and have no issues. That very well might be. But chances are much higher that once you get that rim warmed up again (Track, mountain road drive, aggressive driving), and or slammed into something (pothole maybe) that its going to brake. Plus, if you curb your wheel, its 10X harder to get it fixed and repaired. Today's auto paint on rims lasts just as long as the paint on your car. Your choice, but I would save the money and play it safe. Others can argue all they want. They are the ones who do it for show and drive there car to work and back. Ask your track friends what they think... Good luck!
