A: Yes




I did mine with plastidip and a matte clear coat. Love them, they dont chip from rocks, but they do get messed up when tires are mounted...

My coupe is also Moonlight White. I purchased a set of the 19" sport rims. I just dropped them off at the shop to have them powdercoated gunmetal. I considered black. However, I prefer the look of the gunmetal with the Moonlight White. I will post pics as soon as they are done.
