Yes, newly painted/powdercoated silver or polished would look better.

Bingo. Don't cheap out and rattle can them shits. If they look bad, go get them stripped and powdercoated back to a near stock finish.

I've always liked the idea of polished or machined faces with the inner spokes of the lips painted the color of the car.

I was looking at a set of Equip 01s and thought about painting the black the same color as my car.

that would be the smartest because the inner parts of the spokes are hard as shit to clean and i LOVE polished wheels.

who in the 757 would do that for a reasonable price?

While I completely agree that you shouldn't cheap out on what you do with the wheels....spending roughly the value of the wheels on getting them powdercoated seems like a poor investment IMO. I just don't see the point in investing 2-300 bucks (or more) on getting them powdercoated if you'll only be able to get 3-500 dollars for them when you sell them (just a guess on price, they're cheap on ebay).


If they were not stock wheels, or if they were exactly what you wanted in the long run I'd say go for it. However, since they're messed up already I'd just get someone to sand blast them, prime them, and rattle can them in your garage or something. I think white would be sick personally....but silver may be a better bet if you plan on selling them down the road. Maybe even look into having them sprayed by someone who paints cars, spending 100 bucks on getting them painted seems better then the big bucks to getting them powdercoated (have I beat a dead horse yet?).

polishing them and painting the inners would be pretty simple just take some time. you could even do white inners.
