Powder Coat 467M?

I have a carbon black 50i m-sport with the stock 467M wheels. I am thinking about powder coating them black as it is reasonably ($600) cheap and I think I can get the wife's approval. If money were no object, I would get staggered 20" wheels OEM, but there is no way the wife will be down with that option. Plus, I live in the Northeast where potholes mean having more sidewall is a good idea and I think the square 19's might do better in the snow without having to change to winter rubber. I do not want to change every season. For those of you who made the same choice (to coat or not) are you happy with your choice? Please post a picture.

Nice looking car! Who did the powder coat work for you? Were you happy with the job?

Are you running spacers on that 19" black setup?

Thank you so much for that picture! It really helps me visualize. I am also wondering about the spacers. What size and brand?

I talked one of my employees into powder coating the wheels on his Jag black and he is very happy with the results. Not sure where you are in NJ, a guy in Staten Island did them.

I think those are the guys that did his. And it's a quick ride from NJ, right over the OuterBridge.
