CZYDMND Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Is it a waste of money to buy rims that are painted instead of powder coated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 They are not as durable, but easier to touch-up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anmracing2 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 They look good! I like 'em! Power coated will be more durable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92ZR1Wannabe Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Nice looking rims! I have heard in some cases the heating process of the powder coating (the baking) can weaken some rims and cause them to fracture / crack later after some use. This seems to be a pretty common complaint for people that have their stock CTS-V rims powder coated. Just food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAMMER Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 AS LONG AS YOU STAY AWAY FROM THE CURBS YOUR OK! However powder coating is more durable. and if you want to re-spray them between tire changes you can do it cheaply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTV8 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I like the GS style...but just fyi, ANTI_VENOM also has a smoking deal on some wheels that ARE powder coated centers: ANTI_VENOM's wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
