Can the C5 magnesium wheel be chromed? powder coated? I know they can be polished. Thank you.

Default Magnesium wheels
The wheels can be powdercoated as I have done this twice. The powdercoating is very durable and really easy to maintain.

How did you guys handle the center caps. Are they plastic? Did you mask off the cross flags or powder coat over them? Thank you.

Default Magnesium powdercoat
The center caps should be powdercoated and then a decal can be applied afterward.

Thank you, are the centercaps plastic or metal?
