i just had some "old" rims powdercoated in gloss black.
i'd been tossing the idea around for a while as the rims would of been a lot of hard work to clean up all the nicks & gouges should i have wanted them "polished".
very happy with the end result but some of the deeper gouges can still be seen under the powdercoating.
4 rims for $100 i reckon was pretty good value.
i'm not too big a fan of "black" rims but what the hell....
i'm on a budget :D

I'd be more tempted to do rims in silver.
I like the more traditional look but also if they do become scratched through use then the chips would blend in better with  the silver background
