Yeah my vote is to powder coat them also. I had some wheels powder coated one time and I loved them when I got them back. I think it only costed me around $65 each.

 

damn, thanks alot for the help and opinions guys. powdercoat it is!

ill update you guys when i get them done

 

ill trade rims with you

 

You should definitely not try and powdercoat them youself, that requires a very hot oven, not to mention some decent know how/experience.


Also, one think you should bear in mind, is that once a wheel has been heated to that temperature, it CAN compromise the sturdiness of the wheel. It's rare as long as you pay an experienced guy (or girl for that matter) to do the job, but I've seen guys break wheels at track days because they were weakened during the powdercoating process.

Like I said, it's rare, but it CAN happen.. So do some research on the people who will be doing the job, and make sure they do good work

EDIT: And I must say, judging by that chop, you're car will look sick once the job is done

 

Yeah, if you don't want to risk powdercoating, you can just get them painted... call around to some local body shops to see what they can do for you.

 

hey guys, sorry to bring up such an old thread, but i called around and found out that once place does PC for about 35 per rim but they only do black(no silver lip). and another place does the silver lip but its about 65 and i dont have 260 bucks to spend.... should i get them now and all black? or should i wait till i can afford the silver lip?

can anyone photoshop that other pic with all black?

thanks fellas, and ladies
