what is the diff b/t painting the rims and powder coating it?? diff apllication..but whats the difference...quality and look and cost wise

 

[SubXer0]

quality wise its better i guess ...price wise not sure really i belive its more expensive but powder coating supposedly stays bonded to the rim better of course i've been painting my rims for years now and i never have problems, and thats rattlecanning it, its all about prep work basically if you don't prep the wheel correctly you'll have prob's orange peel, flaking,chipping etc.. if you prep it right you can make the rims look just as nice as they did when you bought em

[GHOSTWHISPER]

so you rocking advan wheels??

 

[GHOSTWHISPER]

i see the sticker, but i dont see the tires or wheels?

 

[Mr. Win]

you posting the right thread? they are RHs and what sticker?

 

[toucci]

Advan makes tires and wheels (mine are advan replicas). They're part of yokohama... and no he doesnt have them on his car. The sticker is on his fender near the door. Considering he has canards on a car with a stock suspension I can't say it comes as a surprise.

 

[GHOSTWHISPER]

haha

[Lord_Zath]

[SubXer0]

[GHOSTWHISPER]
