Stock wheel powdercoating

My smart dealer told me they can do just about anything to the smart i want them to (obviously for a price) the thing i was thinking about was powdercoating my stock wheels until i can get money for some aftermarket 17" wheels. Im looking at getting a White w/ black cell passion and im thinking either powdercoating all white or black spokes with a silver or white lip. Help me decide!

Powdercoated alloys

Hi Irishmykl, I had my stock smart alloys powdercaoted black as the silver was starting to scab up after 4 years on the front only, the back ones looked like new.
Get it done the black alloys make the car look meaner, and over here in Britain it is the "in thing" at the moment having black alloys.
Here is a piccy of the wheels, see what you think!!!

I had mine done by a local powdercoater for less than dealers charge, but I had to have tires removed, took TPS units out then had all redone. I also put new rear rims on the front and changed to Michelins. Check out my photos if you want to see white rims.
