would u get the rims dipped or r u planning on painting them urself?? if you're going to do it yourself, they might just look better stock. dipping them may not look bad though.

i don't think i would do them myself. would it be cheaper to get them powdercoated? what is dipping? i've never heard of that before.

I'd leave it, esp if you plan to sell the car in the future.

A friend of mine has a powder coating business, and he only charges $100 for a set of wheels, any color you desire. I'll chop it up for you, so you can get an idea.
