powder coat.
that would be siic, but i think its a little outa my budget, theres only one place in my area that does it and from what i've heared its very expensive unless you know someone who works there, whats a reasonable price to do all 4?

powder coat is pretty much indestructable right? that would be the only thing that would sway me from painting them

yes we are, but i think he's talking about baking the rims in the oven after the powder is applied
do you have the powder too?
who else did you have in mind? is that $100 per wheel or for all 4?
gold is in the lead so far, i like the idea, im just concerned the car will look too "busy"

11-13-2008, 05:44 PM
all four would cost around $100 but i dont give out names. And yes i can powdercoat like the shizz.

was interested in morbids 16" sportmax's, but i really want 17's and there was no rubber on them anyway
probably jus gonna keep mine until a good deal presents itself and I have some moulah available, or i might get them powdercoated when the moulahs flowing, Rob said he would do eet
