Powder-coating rims?, Mine are starting to look bad. Are there other options? Options

Hey all,

Stock rims are getting old, of course, and after 10 years they look worse for the wear. Anyone know how much it costs to recoat rims? Is painting them a good idea, as per the article? I don't want to shell out $700 for a new set; I like them how they are, I just wish they had fewer bare spots.

i painted about 4 sets of rims. 3 being mine and the other being a friends set. the paint held up fine if u do it right. if not the paint will start to chip off real easy.
the PC rims, im thinking about $60/per rim.
u can get silver paint and some clear and do it yourself.
there r a couple how-toos on here. u can use the searh and find a couple.
