Whats up...

I noticed on some other thread a person talking about powder coating their wheels because they got crazy scratches on them...
I think to myself.... How the hell do you get Crazy scratches on them?!? are you not a good parker?

anyway...
I was just curious to see how other peoples rims are... Perfect? Little scratches? Major Scratches? Chips? and explain why and how...

as for my rims, last i remember, they were A-ok.

Well, I bought my car used, and 3 of the wheels had curb rash on them so I can blame it on the previous owner. Funny because other than that the car is in immaculate condition. Since I've owned the car I've noticed a few small rock chips.

I thought about repairing them, but I think I'll just wait a while and put that money towards new wheels.

yeah, today i noticed a scratch on the side of my car, by the back tire. gah!!
its a small scratch, but still! Its when stupid people walk by it with their keys hanging out of their pocket or with a watch scratch it when walking by it... (Thats why I always try and take up 2 parking spaces)

hell i powdercoated mine for the hell of it. and i still managed to mess one up

Romeo

How much did you powder coat for?
this place where I got my tints is asking for 4 Bills for all 4.
Is that a good deal?
You got pics?

thanks

I curbed my rim on a drive through curb one time... another kid i know high centered his eclipse on the same drivethrough curb and busted his sideskirt off, lol.

Xantium

Oh and no thats not a good deal, $400 is more like a cost for anodizing all four. A local guy here charges $15 to powdercoat a rim!

N rider89

15 thats it thats crazy

Xantium

ya he does it in a shed in his backyard though

N rider89

hey if its good than more power to you

Romeo

Yeah....................

... for some reason I rather pay the $400
lol

and Ps. your Rims look hot as hell.
Your car looks EXACTLY like mine, I got the same tint, same red calipers, except... You have a stock spoiler, I dont have any yet. Im getting the carbon Fiber Lip spoiler though. I like the black rims tho. Real hot... I might just have to Jock you on them.
