Hey guys, new here, but I thought this would be the best place to seek out advice :P

My Celi right now is totally stock, but my father knows this guy who does powdercoating on race cars or somesuch, and he said he could do the rims on my car. I did a bit of research on powdercoating because I didn't know what it was for the most part at first, and I've seen mostly positive reviews. Does anyone have any real cons to it that will impact my car or its performance? Any experience, good or bad? Suggestions for any other exterior styling?

I'm looking to start making my Celi my own, and I wanted to get the rims done like a dark red. Yay or nay? The car is black, I have a photo of it uploaded on here. I shopped a couple of pictures of the shade I'm assuming the guy has, just to get some idea of what it might end up like with some color on it (kind of messy since I used a touch pad but whatever.) I was originally going to do gloss black but I feel like it would blend in with the rest of the car too much, and white looks like it'll be hard to keep clean-looking.



So, help me out?

As said above, it is completely personal preference and what your aim is for the car.

If you went ahead with it, I would like to see you further the red theme with some pin striping or other forms of details or highlights to tie it all together (as well as red seat covers, red stitch interior bits etc.)
