PC is bad for aluminum wheels. You must use the very low temp version.

continental coatings in tualatin. they run black nearly every day so the price is really cheap on it.

I vote for powdercoated black with a red strip around the edge of the lip...Time Attack style.

they are a pretty huge company, so if a color is available, i'm sure they can do it and will have a better chance of having the powder already. big cost comes in if they have to buy the powder to do just one job.

That's some awesome pics!!! that's exactly what I'm doing...Noob question but do you powder coat the red lip too? or is it a tape like on motorcycle wheels? or do I paint it was caliper paint? also why would pc be bad for alluminum wheels? I started a thread awhile ago asking the concerns of it and they said they would know what to do. I thought it would make my wheels brittle but they said I should be fine.. I mean look at most of the guys who have pc there wheels. thanks
