Which one do you guys think looks better, the stock or the gunmetal?

Would be nice to see a side shot fo the car with them, but I think I am liking the gunmetal. Is it powdercoated or a DIY job? If you DIY what did you use? Thanks!

I did it my self, the guys around here that do coating want to much, and most couldn't do gunmetal, just a gray color. so I saw this can of gunmetal paint at the auto store, and thought I try it my self. just had to do alot of prep work cleaning and wet sanding. so the paint would stick good. now I am just wondering if I should put a clear coat on it, and gloss or flat I'm thinking flat.

Yeah, gunmetal looks good. I would ditch the center caps.

I was tinking ditch the center caps and get some of those black lugs at the local auto store, but my girl said it would look stupid. I think I'll do it anyway.

Do the center caps look that bad?

I like that idea!

Yeah. And their plastic which doesn't help. I think the wheels look better without them.
