Are these your only pair of rims? I am asking because why do it right before winter. Winter is bad, enemy, evil to cars. Salt and shizit its going to crap on ur new paint job.

don't waste the money on powder-coating if they are your winter/back-up wheels. just go to autozone or somethin like that, and get the Dupli-color wheel paint. smile.gif. they have silver, white, black, gun metal, etc...it's like 5 bucks a can, and you can just spray them yourself and save a couple hundred bucks. wink.gif.

I'd advise to paint it yourself also, I think there's a How-To on it on the site. I've checked out powdercoating & its a really expensive proposition, I mean big bucks. Even finding someone here to do such a small job was a pain.

well if u want like flashy silver, go with chrome. i dunno if u can have stuff painted chrome tho. but i do know that there is chrome spray paint. i dont know what color Lopez Metallic is, but since that is your car color, it would look cool to have your rims be the same color. or black/gunmetal usually looks good too.

Paint them the same color as your car... and if your just doing this for fun do it yellow and orange.
