Default tried something
I tried to do something different with powdercoating on stock rims and rotors before making the plunge of $2500 and up on aftermarket rims. I think I like it. Don't know if I'll keep it. Hopefully pics come through.

The contrast looks great! Just had mine powdercoated last fall. $250 vs. $2,500, it was an easy choice to make!

With the rotors and the extra labor to leave some rim exposed I had another $150 over what you paid. I think I like it. If it ever strikes me as looking cheap they are gone. Its hard to enjoy the look with the windchill around 15.
