The temperatures required for powder coating supposedly weaken the STi wheels.

Otherwise, as for the wheel color, why does it matter what other people think? It is your car and the are your wheels.

Once you painted/powder coated the wheels & It doesn't matter how much $ you spent, then its resale value drops (unless the new buyer REALLY appreciates it).

If you like the orig. color, then keep it that way.
