Well any suggestions on the wheel ordeal. Should I just have them stripped and powdercoated matte black (Current finish is in bad need of refinishing). or just replace them in the future. Tried selling them with no luck. Also debated trading for just a stock set of 16" wheels for now. Any suggestions wouldbe highly appreciated.
