Wow you guys got me thinking now....hehe why get new rims if I can get what I want by doing the coating. About how much to coat?

 

[Black Majik MSP]

About $50/wheel max, but you should make sure you find a good place to do it.

hey guess what... they already are powder coated.

 

[jflo]

that's nice...and u can powder coat them again ! woopty woo to you

 

[instylz]

I want to coat them black. Not the gunmetal (sort of) color they come with. I'm def looking into this.

 

[Newf]

not for me.... I wouldn't touch them.

How about you just dont clean your wheels for a few weeks.

They will be black and you wont have to pay $50 a wheel!

 

[SaaBaaDoo]

why would you want to powder coat your RH's black??? They are very nice looking wheels! Just in my own opinion, every car i have seen with black wheels looks like s***, they all look like they have steelies on when they are in motion. Remember, that is just my opinion!

just leave the steelies on

looks the same and also lighter

its much much cheaper to powdercoat then go and buy new wheels AND tires. prolly run about $50 per wheel, but it takes a couple days to have them done, but its better to pay $200 to powdercoat, then $700+ for wheels and tires.

The black rims make the car look cheap like its missing its real rims.
