The job looks good and clean, but not sure if from the outside the appearance will change.
The subtle look was what I was going for. I wanted the wheels to look mostly stock, but have that subtle difference for car shows.

The inside of the barrels being gloss coated and black now will definitely make it easier to keep them clean! I hated having to take the wheels off just to get the barrels decently clean! I think the black will add more depth to the look too. The 305's don't hurt either!

So subtle I doubt it would be noticed by the crowd... To each unto their own.


Wouldn't the black show dirt more? At least it sure does on the body!


Is the powder coating more/less sticky or I guess "dirt trapping" than the OEM coating? If it's less dirt clinging then I'm all for it.
