Trying to decide on color and process. ive blasted and then just rattle caned a few but those where on a vehicle looks didnt matter but they turned out pretty darn good anyways. Any suggestions?

Or you could powder coat them; more pricey though.

Thanks for the input! the rims turned out really nice. I will probably go that route only sandblasting them first.

I've always just painted mine with a rattle can.

I have between 20-30 rally style wheels on various vehicles at my house and they've always turned out fine.
