They look pretty smooth. Although I would have gone with the white to match up with the roof and mirrors, I can't wait to see pics. Newly powder coated wheels are a cool thing - especially if you own them!

Not a clue to be honest . Got mine about 11 months ago and only started to get more into it about 6 months ago. I signed up with miniutah.com, but I haven't been approved yet after a month, so that seems dead, or they just don't like me lol. And apparently mini of Murray organizes things too, but haven't seen any invites come by for that either. There are quite a few people with minis around here in Park City, but they're mostly old people that don't wave either… Where are you at?

Now careful with powder coated wheels. The curing process could potentially weaken the wheel due to high temperatures, I've known people who had powder coated wheels snap on them.
