you want to powder coat or paint your rims there is no such thing a dying wheels, you can anodize it but you're going to waste a ton of money.

powder coating is good, very durable stuff.


oh yea, true. someone on here was sellin painted gun metal rims

G37Sam

btw.. how much should powder coating cost approx.. a local dealer is asking for $800 to get all 4 of my rims powder coated.. he also claimed that the wheels have to be realigned and balanced n that this explains the high cost.. he's just ripping me off just coz he thinks im a newbie isnt he? haha

GiGGaplease

800 is a freaking ripoff. you can get about 65/wheel around here.

i spray paint my wheels, looks great so far. 2 coat of primer, 10 coat of paint, and 10 cost of clear coat.

G37Sam

now thats more like it... naaah i dun wanna risk messing my stock rims im not a pro with spray painting.. what about the alignment/balancing? is that bullsht too?

Khalid-NS

i use to have an explorer and i powder coated the rims from chrome to black. never had any problems with chipping or flaking. very durable so i would highly recommend. i knew the guy very well that did mine and only paid $200 for all 4. size of the wheels were 22". i plan on doin the same with the stock 19s and he said he would charge me $150. i cant see anyone spending more then $300-$400 and that even seems very high IMO. hope this info helps ya out
