i find that painted wheels tend to fade away and become nasty looking. unless you know what you are doing of course :P

That too. Even if you do know what your doing it still happens. The only real way to color a wheel is to powercoat it. Most people here are too cheap to do that.

Or maybe people charge alot for powder coating?? and i think you should sand them down and paint them and take your time i just did mine and i love it

If the wheel is properly stripped, sanded, and prepped, you can make it look phenomenal with just paint and not have to powdercoat it.

Most people just dont want to take the time to do it properly. So it usually ends up looking like crap.

Now THAT is a nice looking wheel. How does one achieve that look?? Sanding, and buffing like mad?
