Nurby blue owners who've powder coated they 16s!
Has anyone? One of my wheels (I have the 16" polished/diamond cut 5 spokes) is really shafted, all the lacquer has peeled off and it doesn't look good. It was the one wheel Honda wouldn't replace under warranty for the previous owner.
Anyway, I am considering powder coating my wheels as I've been advised that re-polishing the wheels will only result in the same problem further down the line.
So, I am after some pics to see what they would look like - any colours welcome!
If I don't see anything that takes my fancy, I may look for some later model 17s, but I imagine powder coating would be a cheaper option.
Cheers in advance!

Please bare in mind that with the increasing difficulities in getting S02 or another good tyre for the 16"... If you are willing to fork out the money why not 17"? Heck of a lot more tyre options for the 17".

eho - I've just put some RE050A's on the rear of mine, with S02's on the front, handling is absolutely fine and I don't think Bridgestone will discontinue these any time soon!
tom - I've found 16's to be fine, now I've got the tyres sorted. 17's tend to lead to a slightly harsher ride IMO.
Simon - have they been refurbed to stock silver then?

That was cheapest so that's what I had done. They can do pretty much any finish you want, including diamond cut back to original. Pay them a visit or call, they are very good
