got my rims powdercoated

hey i just got my rims powdercoated

let me know what you guys think (my rsx is the black one)











this stuff is amazing

i'll update this with more pics of them. without any sealant on them, they bead water like crazy! next up is to get the centercaps painted to match since they are plastic and can't be powdercoated.
