saw your pics at the club site, I'm choesamj from there. I didn't know you painted them though. My Integra rims were painted black and I got my s2k rims powdercoated and from my experience I would spend the extra money and get them pc'ed. My painted rims would chip so often even with 5-6 coats of paint and clear and even when they were freshly painted never looked as bright as my pc'ed rims. I just got tired of having to respray every 4-6mts. My s2k rims were pc'ed Oct03 and they still look the same as when I picked them up. My 2cents, have fun with the club as it's one of the things I miss from G'ville

I agree with integraman. i got mine painted about 3 months ago ( http://www.2nrwerks.net/fugged.asp )and they are chipping a little. Most of it was from when I got my tires changed and the tech at kauffman let my front rim roll onto the pavement.

I am currently getting a fresh set and i am going to powder coat mine as well.

Nice color on your sebring though

ya the club is pretty cool. i was excited to hear about some car enthusiasts in my new home town. i also agree that having to re paint them will be a pain, and that is why i am probably going to buy new rims once i have to get new tires. thanks for the complements everyone.
