Default podwer coating

has anyone ever tried powder coating the ws6 premium wheels? ive heard the process can weaken the metal but dont know to what extent. I want it done black with a red lip. just dont have the money to buy new rims and tires because if i buy new rims they will be 18" and not 17". and if anyone has powder coated them please provide pictures so i can see what they look like. thanks!

It's Powder Coating.
I'm not aware of it weakening the metal, but the finish will outlast painted wheels, and is well worth the cost.

sorry about the typo...and im sure i spelled many words wrong. thanks for calling me out on it though

how much does it usually cost at a decent shop per wheel? mine will probably have to be sandblasted, previous curb rash fixed, and then the actual POWDER COAT done.

I paid $70 per wheel a about 2yrs ago (good deal), but that's in CA.
Try posting in the regional section to find a good shop close to home.
