Red face What to do now...?

Ok so ive done preery much a lot to my ride lately( viper front and g5 kit, drop on progress, aem short ram intake, audiovox 5.6in screen) and now im once again deciding what to do about my rims. Right now i have 17in verdicts, i like them and all but a. i want something new and b. i hate the color, for some reason they are goldish. i really want 19s but dont wanna spend the money on them rather save up for a turbo, and i want 18s but i also dont wanna have to spend more money plus try and sell mine. so i guess my only choice right now is to either powdercoat my rims to a black opal color or get new rim. I really like the ADR concpet pro like madwheel and fly in gunmetal tho. they are also hella chep. my question to all of you is: should i powdercoat my current rims, or get new ones? if so which?

thanx for help in advanced

Since you are thinking about getting turbo eventually, just keep your rims. save up , buy turbo then new wheelss. or you could just get powdercoated if you really hate color of current wheels.

I think your car would look real nice with 'em in 17s. Yes the lip does make it look smallER, but they would look perfect. 2" drop would be right on.

I like them more than the wheels you have now, but it's what you like that counts.
