{{{ WHEELS - POWDERCOAT or PAINT...???? }}}

OK this is basically the color I am going with on the Valiant....should I paint the wheels to match (will get dog dish caps) or have them powdercoated black....?????? If I powercoat them should I order the rear raw & have them powdercoated with my stock fronts so the finish matches...or just order them already powdercoated....?????

You can never go wrong with black wheels IMO. Shiny wheels would also look awesome. Dislike any painted color wheel on it.

If you're using dog dish caps, the would have originally body color. This is how I personally like it.

i would not powder coat anything imo you are much better off media blasting your wheels and using a good epoxy primer followed with a single stage urethane topcoat to many rust problems with powder coat

Your probaly right...hmmm...I think I'll spray them with Ospho now since they have already been blasted then when the weather warms up I have some epoxy black primer I can paint them to see if I like the black look and always shoot them with the body color later....thanks, great idea
