anthracite looks naff powdercoated. BEst off getting them sprayed but you run the risk of stone chips.

if they are sprayed by a professional who keys them up properly and usues the right laquer and sealer (ground coat/Primer) they won't chip. don't powder coat them anthracite though get em painted all wheels come painted as standard just got to use the right materials for the job

as said if they are keyed up well then the wont chip unless you throw rocks at them!

and Pristine Wheels down the road from me, al the wheels that are not polished are painted by them so its just as good!
