Powdercoated my wheels...
 

Finally did it. Had planned on doing this with the last set of tires; didn't get around to it. Wasn't going to pass it up this time. Local custom motorcycle shop, BDB Customs, did them. Dismounted old tires, PC'd, mounted new tires for $212. $50 elsewhere to have them balanced, and their done. Wasn't overly fond of the color at first, but BOY have they grown on me! Considering darkening the center caps... I'm happy, all and all. Let me know what you think!

I like them. I think they go very well with the nordic green.

Those are really nice!

they look pretty damn nice, i wanna see how my rims would look on my altima powdercoated the dark gray color to match the car

nice, ive got nordic green too and was wondering how this wood look. im curious to see what it'd look like powdercoated white tho too. id say dark center caps too

yeah darken up those center caps. looks good though.

I've wanted to do this for a while now. I just need to find a shop that will do it for a good price.

Did you have to do any prep work? or just drop em off and pick em up? $53/each seems like a hell of a deal!

Much less expensive then getting a new set of wheels.

Kudos!

You gotta update your signature pic now!

Looks very sweet, that's the look I'm going for as well, but Whats the deal with the coating insted of getting them painted? I was going to get my painted to match the MS bodykit grey color, what do you recommend?

looks good, although I think it would be better if the center caps were painted aswell.

Centercaps may be my next project...

No prep on my side at all, minus removing them from the car and sharing my wifes truck over the weekend. Dropped them off Fri, picked them up Tues, had them on the car Wed. The shop quoted $40 each, so overall they added $13 a piece to dismount and mount new, which isn't bad at all.

As for powdercoating instead of paint: durability. Read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_coating

Thanks for the feedback!

Sweet!! I like pink though!!

Very nice!

I love the color.

Looks great!

great looking car dude.

looks good. i'd like to see that color on a WB 8

can u get powder coated rims that are shiny/glossy?

Great work. Looks fantastic.

Nice, i had mine done about a year ago, no flaking, peeling, the gloss and metalic sparkle is just as good as it was when i had them done.

If you do the center caps, let me know how! I have been pondering it for the past year.

looks clean man..

What paint code or color did you use?

I had mine done in a black for track rims. I went to home depot and bought some plastic paint and clear coat and matched it perfectly. Pics taken on cell phone btw.
