What kind of durability will the painted and clearcoated wheels have? Even though OEM is painted and clearcoated, I always hear people mention that when painting your wheels the paint is very prone to chip and that powdercoating is a better solution. The finish looks awesome, I'm just wondering how long they'll stay looking like that.
Actually, Ferrari of Houston did the paint work. They paint their Challenge race cars all the time and they seem to hold up pretty well. Of course powder coating will last longer but I'm not sure if you can get flat black with a slight metallic finish. So we painted them.

Looks good. Thanks. (I think?)((More money, bummer.))

Cool I can't wait to see that! Do you like the 15-20 mm wide body-color light-catcher that I left below the taillight blackout , just above the main bumper crease line? I am thinking that it will make the rear match the front-end styling even more than the Annihilator's paint-job already does. And will give it an even more slitty-eyed horizontal sinister look.
