Buy new rims or get mine repainted?? Help

I saw a couple post when I did a search where people got their rims stripped, then repainted (or powdercoated). When washing my car last weekend, I realized I have a little bubble forming up around my centercap, and a little piece of paint has chipped off. I probably won't do anything right away, but was wondering if this would work for my rims, or if they are bubbling up a little bit if I should just buy new rims. Any help is appreciated, and if you could take quick look at my car and recommend what rims you think would look best. Thanks for any help.

I like the rims you have. If u were me, i'd DEFINETLY get them powdercoated. You wouldnt get that much if u were to sell them, so mind as well keep them and make them looke sweet as hell

Cool, thanks for the help. I guess I'm going to take a look around and see who can powdercoat them around my house so I don't have to ship them anywhere.

Sounds Good.

Just to give u an idea..
Here in IL i've serached around at 70 a rim is what i found. Some places even charge 100 or more. The 70.00 a rim place is very respectable so on saturday, im dropping mine off

Good luck and keep us posted!

Josh-Oh and those are Chucky's old rims right? He did a GREAT job on them!! I was gonna buy them too
