Don't be a cheap get it done properly with either 2pac or powdercoating. Alloys done will rattle cans will chip ad flake within days.

this is why the first Rallye fucked up so much just spend a bit and get a proper job done. Also put some nicer wheels or put the stock ones back on.

get them powdered its not too expensive, i cgot mine done at work and the results where imence but be carefull with the wheel brace while you fit them because they scratch easy and it shows all the more on black wheels
