I completely agree with Don's description of the appearance of powder coated
wheels and also the protection factor....I had thought (not in a serious way)
about chroming the wheels or purchasing chrome wheels, but it would have been
too bright, plus just not the correct appearance for the car....Powder coated
wheels take the car in the opposite direction from chrome as far as appearance
goes: the wheels are too muted (not metallic enough) and with a somewhat dull
blue/grey color as Don described....The Link below shows my car with powder
coated wheels. The pics are, as expected, inferior to actually seeing the
wheels, but thought I'd send anyway.

Powder Coat on Original Disk Wheels
I have a set of four TR3 wheels that were
powder coated before I got them --
beautiful job, but definitely not the right
color. More blue-gray, as noted
by Pat, and also less "metallic" looking than
my originals. I can't say I'm
happy with the shade, although the finish and
protection of the metal are
super.
