do you have the machined finish or the chrome ones?
The chrome ones.Would I have to send them off to get powdercoated?I know that would be the best way,but I dont know how much that would cost.Thanks.

Honestly....there are lots of people who would want the chrome ones....Trade someone for the machined ones first. They will be much easier to paint, the paint will stick much better.
Yes, powder coating is an option, but I have seen plenty of wheel paint jobs that look good and last long. I believe VHT makes wheel paint.
trade me for chrome ones! I have machined! lol
^^^there ya go. texas and arizona aren't THAT far away. free up a weekend on the old calendar...

Does yours have any scuffs,or bends?Mine are flawless.And are you in texas?If so you would have too come to my house.And what are the condition of your tires?mine are BALD falken ziex 329's.

shoot im in MI. the clear coat is peeling a bit. but you would sand them down anyways for powdercoat. and my tires were new in March. so they are almost perfct.
didnt notice u were in texas my bad.
I believe when i got mine done awhile back it was $210 for all 4 rims...
Did I mention I drive a 2000 Lumina now?-----wigm-tuners.org member
You sure?Thats powdercoated right?Sounds a little to cheap.Ive heard its around like $300-$400.

If you take your time and read up on rattle can techniques and find the best combination of paints you can make it look just as good an last just as long.
Or take it to someone with experience.
40 bucks and a week and I could paint a set of rims identical to powder coated that last just as long with rattle cans.
I would definitly try to trade your chrome ones for the silver ones first. After that the paint process isnt real difficult. I did a writeup on painting my 98 Z rims, hopefully it will help you
