Stripping chrome=pain in the @ss.

if I recall right those wheels were already really structrually weak too, so powdercoating is most likely out of the option.

I would save for a set of wheels.

Sell the chrome rims and buy something better.

Welcome. Figure $800 to paint the wheels. Remove chrome. Prep. Primer. Paint. Clear coat. Labor intensive and costly.

Dont do it - by the time you get done - its going to be just as much to get a new set. Plus chrome OEMs seem to have "cracking" issues.

I use mine for drift and have had to get rid of one cause of the cracks on the spokes

Makes no sense spending $ that way. Sell them then put that money towards a budget. Painted wheels look like a** after a few months of paint chipping anyway.

Don't paint those, that will look horrible. Just buy new wheels.

Maybe you can PM him and ask him how he did it. I heard it is really hard to paint chrome wheels and have the paint stay on. I would try and sell the stock wheels and get wheels that have a better size and offset.
