What's Black and White and Loves to Play in the Snow?
Just got my wheels back from powder coating and installed - none too soon. Wheels are 20 inch Porsche SportDesign with Pirelli Scorpion 275/40ZR20.

Haven't decided whether or not to paint the center caps. The guys that did the wheels recommended leaving then like this for two reasons: 1) tough to powder coat plastic (it hates the heat), and 2) they felt it looked better as an accent.

a black cap will look better, it does not look as cool now.

If you are going to do it, do it all the way: black caps, black valve stems, black wheels weights.

Black caps to complete the black look. Cool otherwise.

Regular weights + black spray paint. At least that's what I did.
