Honestly,
For the price of powdercoating, you could purchase a set of bronze 17's and reuse your stock tires.

 

I just painted mine using wheel spray paint. I coated them like 6 times with paint with 15-20 mins to dry between each coat. I also did like 4 coats of clear coat. They turned out awesome, and I still have the polished lip that I taped off.

 

i rather get em powdercoated,

$200 bronze rims

 

and those dont look bad at all

 

yea show me those for 200 shipped at the end of the auction

 

start bidding sucka and set your max bid to 65. simple.

 

well thx 4 the chop[ guys cause the whole purpose of this threas was to see wat the different color rims look like on my car

 

oh dude im sorry, i didnt even notice that in ur post! do u have a pic of ur car ill do it

 

here are a couple pics of some black tibs to work with, black and brozen plz

 

i only did one wheel and i havent quite gotten bronze right either. if u had a bigger pic, like real big, i could do a color change better.

 

my boy painted his stockers gunmetal on his tiburon. didnt turn out bad at all looked like they came that way. his wife actually did it for him. not really my style but it looked good.

 

I'm actually going to getting a set of aftermarket rims powdercoated and am trying to get a rough idea of how much its going to cost. So your getting all 4 rims powdercoated for around $200?

If shops around here charge more maybe I'll have to go to whatever shop your going to.

 

ya they said around 50-60 a rim

 

A thing I was thinking about was....

Does having the rim painted mess with its balance? Like if I have a set of tires mounted on them prior to being painted will that throw off the balancing after? I guess if it does I should just get the tires mounted/balanced after rims are painted.

 

i highly doubt the paint itself would affect the balance, but taking the tires off the wheels and putting them back on might.

 

heres are some closer up pics, if anyone else could do bronze and black

 

$200 bronze rims

Nice find, i'm watching these now. haha.

You realize, painting a wheel black on a black car would make it hard to see the detail of the rim to know if it is a good idea or not. especially since there's shadow involved in the wheel well and inside the spaces of the rim, etc.

i'll PS it in bronze though. gimme a few minutes.

Keoni.

 

Here you go, real quick PS.

 

Whats the name of the shop where you plan to get these powder coated?

 

I wouldn't waste money on powdercoating the stockers. Just save up and get some nice aftermarket wheels. I've also still got my stockers but the T's on all the spokes are really starting to piss me off.

 

i dont know the name, its on 10 mile road in warren,

 

Here is a quick PS but I don't think this is a bronze color. I dunno kinda close.

 

Just paint them with the Duplicolor system. That's how I ended up with Bronze Enkei RF-1's since Enkei doesn't make them in anything other than silver.
