what color are you planning to powdercoat your stock wheels? Im thinking about doing gold, since I have a black rx-8. good luck and post some pics and updates on it, Im still looking for shops down here in Sd, Cali that can do it for a good price.

The rotary center caps are pricey, about $29.00 Each. I have a set of four OEM's that I painted Black you can have all of them for $20.00.

Unless your nose is right in front of the rim you can’t tell. I used black model paint and a then sprayed clear coat on it. I probably could have used a glossier paint to get an exact match.

The maker of this thread wanted to know what it cost to get OEM rims powder coated. I should have been a bit clearer; I am not selling my rims. I was just posting what I paid to get mine coated.
