Post pics of your painted OE wheels - 220M/260M/359M!

So lately I've been really interested in powdercoating my set of OE wheels. So im pretty curious to see if theres any people who can contribute with some pictures of this. They can be any color, black, gunmetal, silver or blue!!

I did search but I only found a few pics but in my searching I also found out that theres plenty of people who have done it, but havn't posted any pics, so I thought I'd create a thread for it. So please, feel free to post some pics here if you want!

I'm contemplating doing the same...possibly with a new set of 359's. Would love to see some variations of this as well.

Here's a couple of pics of mine...gloss black, automotive paint. I've had them painted like this for over a year now and only 2 tiny rock chips. I've been very happy w/ the results.

Butler Tire out of Atlanta GA...I think I paid way too much, but I am happy w/ how they turned out. I paid a bit over 900 bucks w/ them tearing the tires down and remounting the.

Had mine powder coated a matte black about 6 months ago. No wear at all on the coating. Obviously, I left the face of the wheel alone



Here's one from farther away:
