Rims in the Shop. Stocks back on! Man what a Differnece! Okay well i just took my rims to Conroe at this powder coating shop for 200 dollars for all 4 and i'm getting them PC Glossy Black. oh yea and guess how much it cost me to get my stocks put back on and My rims took off the tires.....10 dollars @ Discount Tire Co. The guys up there liked my car and they was like man, will do it for 10 dollars don't worry about it.... so i was like cool! 
But yea i feel a mad difference between 18's and 14's . Acceleration seems somewhat faster and also i can't seem to stay below 80mph on the freeway 
it's like it jumps way up there when i barely tap the gas, but maybe it's all in my head but i can sure feel the difference though, but just thought i would share and show pics of the stocks on my car WITH no HUBCAPS!!! hahahahaha

Akia, what shop are your rims getting done at? I live in Conroe and when I get my rims, I think I'm gonna most likely get mine powder coated. "ONE"
