Pricing should be around $75 per wheel pending you have the tire and weights removed in advance. That has been my quote in the past from quite a few different shops.

Here's mine done black. Cost: 6 cans of krylon spraypaint and an afternoon. They chipped up pretty quick in the back though. I'm debating on getting them powdercoated white. I was quoted $300 from two different shop and that included media blasting them first.

i painted them time attack.

need to re do them though.. was thinking bronze.

anyone got a photoshop of that?

anywhoo here they are.





ps. i reccomend taking more than a day to do these wheels to allow proper drying time.

i remember when i painted my old subaru wheels gold. they lasted perfect for they year i had the car. no fading. but i had wheels to roll on for awhile

i rushed the s2k in a day and they faded after a wash.

Nice work! It turned out pretty nice. I have been thinking about painting mine or have it powdercoated the Exact same way you did with the black and red with a matching red lugnuts, but I was holding back because I wasnt sure how it would turn out. but after seeing that thing, I think Im going to get it done now pretty soon. Mine is MY07 wheel tho, so well see how it turn out..

You guys know any powdercoating place where I can get a good deal with a decent job?
