I had wheels powdercoated yellow on my Lotus. Let me tell you - keeping them clean was a nightmare. The brake dust etches itself into the powdercoating, and won't come out.

If you get your wheels powdercoated, you really need to use a wheel protectant (like Armor All Wheel Protectant), clean them every week, and do NOT get a light color - it's going to show everything.

With the amount of dust expelled from the brakes on our cars, anything other than black is going to look like total shit. I had black wheels on my Lotus and LOVED not having to constantly clean the wheels.
