Powdercoating stock wheels?

AllBlkdOut07,
Those stockers look great. You right, you don't see that too much, but great idea!! I may just go that route, but now my truck will be down a week.

I agree 100%, I love changes that are unique (like your grille gaurd/wheels etc).
I went to a local show this weekend and out of all the NNBS trucks (100+), bagged, full blown customs ext/int mine was the only one with clear headlights.

If he thinks you can put powder over clearcoat then I'd find another guy, he sounds clueless.

Here are mine before and after:

damn man, those turned out pretty damn sweet
