Hey guys, I recently bought a second hand set of rims for my '04 Euro CL9. The rims are called Godfather but not sure what brand. The main issue I am having is deciding if I polish them back due do the clear coat being chiped and some areas having gravel rash or do I get them powercoated either black or white.

Just need some good opinions guys,

Thanks

I don't think they will look good powder coated, too much surface area.

Agree with above.

Just get them reconditioned or do it yourself.

Hand polished with black bolts :thumbsup:

Thank you guys but do you think a power coat will give it a better and cleaner look due to the gravel rash or like you said just take them back and re-gloss them. So hard to decide. Was maybe thinking having blue bolts to break up the chrome instead of black.

I'd say just recondition them to their original look. Powder coating would probably look cleaner but I think silver/polished would look much better for that style of rim.

Since your car is blue, polish the outer/lip and paint the 5 spoke centre white.

Not an offense but I don't like this rim. If i have to choose, i agree with Nuggety Nugget to recondition it.
