Painting Wheels (professionally). Thoughts?

Paint isn't a bad route as long as it is done correctly... Have to take the tire off to get a good finish, and with care will last as long

yeah dude Al's Hubcaps charges $500 to powdercoat 4 wheels, with everything included. If you're gonna do it, do it right.
