Powdercoating my rims?

Had been going to the car wash and i guess they use a wheel cleaner that eats the paint off my rims and seeing what you guys think about getting them power coated. Have the stock 19' on a 2008 g37s

I personally think they look way better powder coated. I'm planning on getting mine powder coated as soon as I can. I've seen a few G's at my school that have had their rims powder coated. Highly recommend it.

I recommend you wash your car yourself to prevent swirls and what not. Also you should get a midnight black grille to match if you haven't already.

The base color is the grey painted ones and still deciding on which ones to get? Any ideas? The car is grey itself. And how much did you spend on them ?
