powdercoating doesn't belong on wheels it belongs on valve covers for a 1972 chevy el camino. your friends with painted wheels probably did spray paint them so what did you expect? powdercoating does chip\scratch just as easily, it does withstand temperature very good though. I remember seeing my friends GTO wheels after being powdercoated and i could already see tiny little scratches all over (it was suposedly a gloss finish but was very dull) then i was like "wow you paid $400 for this?"

 

Looks nice, look fwd to mounted pix!

 

Your friends rims look like he drives up against curbs often.

 

nice,

i have painted stockers that i bought off a member here. paint still looks great but i'm sick of the stock look. good luck with your rims

 

Seldomly is it ever the paints fault, but rather the painters fault for using cheap paints mixed with inexperience.

 

They look ****in amazing and everyone loves em.

Too bad its pouring rain and dark and shitty in NJ for the past 3 weeks.

When the sun comes out I'll go snap some pictures

 

Where in NJ did u get them done? I'm looking to do the same too mine

 

Powder coating wheels generally costs 75.00 per wheel. unless your getting bent. So anything 300 and under is a good deal

 

Pics dont do them justice. The black looks flat in these pics but its much more shiney in person. Also, please excuse the dirtiness of the Z, waiting for good weather to wash it

 

siiiiiiiiiiick

 

sick...all you need now is to drop it.

 

Haha well next in line actually is to get my stillen wing painted and installed. We held it up where it would be mounted and it looks ****ing AMAZING. I'm so pumped for that.

Always wanted to slam it but am afraid of incline trouble / scraping bumpers. Have any experience/opinion with that?

 

Nicee this is the exact same setup that im going to go with.

I was thinking, instead, leaving the center cap chrome
and possibly flat black instead?

what do you think?

 

your car be dirty ...not bad not bad.
