I am buying a set of Stockton wheels and the offer them painted or powdercoated. What would you guys go with? How to Cragar and Pro Comps come? The difference in price is $250.

Default paint wheels
I'd go painted. Once powder coat get nicked or gouged, very tough to match up. Paint lasting depends on how good the prep is.

I vote for powdercoating. It has a better look than paint and is far more durable.
