The winter wheels are OEM VW Ditto10.
They are powder coated ... can anyone shed light on the pros and cons of powder coating versus painting?
Power Coating = stronger and therefore will likely last longer. That doesn't mean paint won't last though.
Painting = better finish and will look better.
I have had wheels painted and then clear coated before... And I would do it again.
Has anyone painted or powder coated their R36 omanyt wheels?
Would love to achieve this look on a Black R36;

Have they kept the perimeter of the wheel silver while greying out the middle? Highlights things very nicely indeed. I think that's why the blacked out wheels of the car in the snow (some 10-15 postings prior) looks so good ... the white snow is actually serving to contrast against the black in the picture.Quote:

thats a nice colour, is it new to the MY10 range? I'll have to keep an eye out for you when I'm going through Little Italy!Quote:
