I don't like fully polished rims.

I have a set of 14" Fuchs that are currently fully polished.

My question is, should I have them polished again, (paint/powdercoat) and then have the spokes and lip polished?

Is that the right way of doing it? If so, which is better, paint or powder?

Muchas Gracias Samba-Migos!

powder is a lot stronger then paint. i would powder coat them if you are not going to polish

If you powdercoat them make sure you grind the paint off behind the lug bolts.
