Sorry I don't have any "before" pics but those that saw it know that this looks good.

Well I'll find out about powder coating later today....and post up what I find.

Thanks!

I would think the polished ;ip on the gold would look bad a$$ yO! If you get them powdercoated, let me know. I have some SDR's that need to be changed from gold to another color I think Bronze would look the best if you go for powdercoating...

Well it looks like it's going to be "gold" I found a place that can paint match and is just going to repaint the lip.

That's going to save me $$$ and they claim I won't be able to tell it was ever painted.

Why do gold or bronze since they come stock in that color anyways? my vote goes for black or gunmetal.

$120 and about 10 days.

The paint job is going to be around $60.....so fixing the wheel was cheaper than buying a "new" used one.....and WAY cheaper than buying a new STi BBS wheel from subaru!!
