Bedlined vs. Powercoating Stock Wheels
Whats better? I love the way the stock rims look with the flat paint. Which exact dimensions would I get to fit my stock rims? I'm new Wrangler world and am trying to pick up on this as quick a possible, but car lingo is about as clear as Chinese to me right now. I'm trying to pick up as quick as possible.
Also, I love the Nitto Trail Grapplers and want to get a pair of 35's. I will also be ordering Bushwacker flared fenders and am trying to decided between a Teraflex leveling kit or an OME 2.5 inch lift. Suggestions?
I do NOT plan on putting a winch on the front, so would just a Leveling Kit be enough to support my spare 35' or should I go with a lift?
Thanks guys.
And lastly,

I bedlined my wheels a few weeks ago. Two came out good, two not so good. The black is coming off on one of them already. Others on here don't have any problems with theirs. I'll be powder coating mine soon
You are talking $200-$400 for powdercoating. Which will eventually chip especially if you intend to wheel.
Bedliner is $50... you can also use a raptor liner kit for a really aggressive flat texture.

I'm a powder coating guy, so I almost always answer "powdercoating" - but if you're wheeling it, then I would agree with those that say line it.
I don't know too much about overall performance of the bedliner, i.e., adhesion and corrosion, but I would definitely suggest paying attention to prepping the surface. For any coating, surface prep is critical. Do a nice med\coarse sand of the current surface, prime it, then line it.
