I'm getting a set of wheels and one of them has a decent amount of scratches. I was wondering if anyone could point in the direction of a good place to have it refinished or to have them all powdercoated. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you

 

if you really want a nice finish the best place I know of is called Electrotech. there in San Marcos they do amazing work!

Don't powdercoat alloy wheels. Ever. It compromises the heat-treatment of the aluminum alloy and can lead to catastrophic (i.e. total and sudden) failure.

 

powder1 in santee has done good work for me.

 

Do you guys know per wheel prices for any of those?

I'm getting a different set of Te's, which are not alloy correct..?

 

Paint ftw

 

Unless they're steelies or carbonfiber (or wire, classic british style...) they're aluminum or magnesium alloy. Both are heat-sensitive.

 

Hmm, okay thanks for the info

 

North County Powder Coaters quoted all four of my 17's for 500. It was a 4 day turn around though. They like to make sure they get it done correctly.
