Default Wheel Powdercoating

I'd like to have my factory wheels powdercoated black. Looked for a post about this but couldn't find anything. Has anybody had this done in Central Florida? Sorry if there is already a thread about this. Kinda new here.

Thanks,
Chris

edit: also, has anyone used spacers to lower the offset of the factory wheels?

I would just paint them. I had two sets of painted factory rims. One ap1 set and one ap2 set. They both held up really well, even after changing tires multiple times.

I always prefer powder coating to regular paint. Finish seems much more durable and looks nicer imo.
I might have to check that place out too. Have a local powder coating I have been getting all my work done through but they have been taking forever recently to complete my jobs.

Do some research about wheel failures after powdercoating before you make a decision.

Wheel failure seems to mostly be a BS thing. I have spoken with many powder coaters about this and seems to be a bunch of nonsense.
