Honestly I say leave them plasti dipped. Would hate to powder coat come nice billet wheels. The plasti dip is pretty tough. I've had my 18s done for over two years now with almost no peels or chips. And worst case you just peel it all off.

Looks better, can barely tell their on there backwards....
I agree polished lip and gloss spokes might look pretty good, why dont you try and lightly cut the PD before you take it off so you could see what it would look like with a polished lip, never know til you try it..

Thinking seriously about having them powdered satin black. What do you all think ?

OMG 10000% better, YES get them powerdered... but IMO they look way better AS IS. Yes, they will be haters, but hot darnit, your truck is 1 of my favs now...
