In the next few weeks, I'm looking to get some new tires. I figured it would also be a good opportunity to get my stock AP2V1 rims powdercoated so I don't have to pay again for mounting/balancing tires in the future.

I spoke with Import Motor Werks and they told me it's possible to get them powdercoated next door at Carolina Custom Powder during my tire installation. However, this would take about 4-5 days, which is going to be a logistical nightmare for me if I don't have a car available.

So, I was wondering if anyone here had an extra beater/spare set of OEM S2000 wheels (or really, anything else can fit), and if I could possibly put them on my S for a few days. That way, I'd be able to drive the S and not have to worry about being car-less. I'd be willing to leave some kind of deposit/collateral, as well as all my information, so you don't think I'm stealing your wheels.

Anyway, it's kind of a shot in the dark, but figured I'd ask anyway. Let me know if you can help me out. Thanks!

EDIT: I'm in Raleigh.

 

actually i do have a set of AP1 wheels you could borrow, Tread is good, has All season tires though. Im in SE Columbia

 

just saw: I'm in raleigh...

 

let me know how the powdercoating goes, i go to import motor sometimes and theyve recommended me that powdercoater place as well. a bit pricy i thought, but they said they do it right. What color you getting?

 

Lol I posted this exact thread.
Ended up just buying a extra set of ap1s

Too bad they're still stuck in wilm.

If you have a car thatll fit them and can help me get em here you can borrow them. =]

 

The tires are pretty bald on them but I was planning on getting some all seasons put on them after I paint them.

Let me know if you're interested in helping eachother out.

 

What did they quote you?
I got quoted like $280 for all 4 by a local place but that was a sale price. I think reg was $320

 

i forgot the exact quote but i wanna say it was more than $100 a wheel, it has been awhile though so my memory is really foggy. just remember it being something I thought I could find a lot cheaper somewhere else

 

I got quoted $250 for all four wheels. The color I want is more dark grey than gunmetal, and it has an interesting blue sheen in the sunlight, which complements my Suzuka Blue paint very nicely!

 

I thought about that color (gun metal) but I think I'm still gonna go with white.

I do like how orange wheels look on suzukas but that's a bit too much.
