After owning rims that are painted (not powdercoated) I would never own another set. Rims get a lot of debris (rocks etc) and paint chips and does not hold up. IMO

Chrome, powdercoat, brushed would be the only ones I would choose.

I should have remembered that from my 92 Camaro with the spokes painted. I now remember what they looked like 2 years later......Thanks for reminding me....LOL

What about just rivets? Looks wise also?

Looks are okay but if you go to sell them later your VERY limited on market. I wanted to do the same to our ABM. Also, if one or two chip or wear you have to tear down and rebuild the wheel. Again, to me..not worth it.

Good advice...........Thanks Indpowr.
I also appreciate the help on the H&R lowering springs. The pics and thread have been a huge help.
