Hi,

Just curious if anyone has powdered coated their OEM 03-05 RX8 wheels to a gun metal, gray or black?

Was thinking of doing this to mine but was not sure, any pictures would be great. THANKS!

 

Myself and many others have had their rims powder coated. A search in the wheels forum will return many threads with photos.

 

What would be a good colour to go with nordic green? I have black painted calipers.

 

black or gunmetal/dark silver

 

How does the paint hold up? Ive been thinking about powdercoating mine too

 

How much can i expect to spend on powdercoating all four wheels?

 

Around here in Cali it varies from $200-$300...for all 4 wheels....

 

Search is always good.

 

bronze would look awesome on nordic green. If you did it black it would become to monochromatic.

 

The photo in the 2nd post was from 6/2005 the one in this post was from 10 minutes ago. Please take into account my car is dirty and the rims are not used during the winter. But I would have to say they held up well.

 

I know nacer is getting his done. I've had my brush gaurds done on my vehicross and would go through the woods, and even dropped it on gravel in my driveway and no scratches.

 

Must be getting old since I can't seem to remember to put what I want to say in one post, but nice wheels expo.

 

Those do look damn good. And paying about $100 per wheel to have them done sounds reasonable, especially considering most aftermarket options are going to be either heavier than stock or much more expensive.

 

Thanks the response, I'll do a search.

The looks awesome the black.

 

alot of people do them black

 

I think I might do mine either gunmetal or bronze.

expo yours look really good, but how come the inside wasn't done?

 

the insides were done, its just hard to keep them clean.

 

Thanks for the pix expo! Im getting mine powder coated w/ a red lip now!
