I wanted to know what the GS wheels are made out of and if getting them powdercoated would make for a good look, i think it would.
My biggest question though is whether i'm Just being paranoid or not. Cuz i found a good deal on powdercoating and i would hate to pass it up.
And Remember I'm New to this stuff, so please keep the criticism on a constructive level.

yes its really great looking... mine's are white coated and I really like them even if I got them used

well which GS rims are you talking about? The 15" 5 spokes or the "butterfly rims" as I call them but they have the holes all the way around?

The 15 In. Gs 5 Spokes. I was wondering what anybody's opinion would be on Gloss Black Powdercoat for those wheels.

in that case, YES those rims would look sweet in gloss black... you could also do a polished lip really easily too that might look good...

That's exactly what i thought especially with the car being Blaze Red and all.

Lol....i guess that's common thinking...

I'm on the waiting list for the powerdercoater round here to get that done..

Blaze Red (repainted), Black spokes with a polished lip

just out of curiousity how much will you be charged per rim including prep and all?

I am thinking about getting my tsw razor's powdercoated gunmetal gray (or something like that) and there is a guy in memphis that does it for $50 a rim...

i did the exact same thing with my 15" honeycombs. check it out

how much does it normally cost to get them done? i have the se rims how do you think those would look black?

it cost me $400 with taxes and masking. it was $300 CDN before taxes for a plain powdercoating. well worth it imo.

wow really nice ovendenk!!!
I paid mines 175$ can with 4 tires, 1 of them had a weak sidewall so I had to replace it... they are made by enkei and of course the coat was used but still look good

men that was a good deal!!

I Found a Powderoater in my area that has quoted me $125 without prep, and then i found another one that quoted me $150 including prep. So i guess i found one hell of a deal either way.

anybody knows a good way to repair a powdercoat on rims?? every time I change tires they scratch them and they aren't as white as brand new

does it cost that for each whee or all 4?l?

$125 For all 4 without prep.
$!50 for all 4 with Prep.
As for repairing them, i would tough it out til' it gets too bad and then get them totally redone.
