How much are you looking to spend man. I had an awesome idea when I had my silver 10 spokes but didn't follow through because my money was REAL tight. Let me know because I know the place right here in Randolph that said they would do it in about 3 days time.

I had mine powder coated because of the pitting but the aluminum still had some oxidation going on and the coating bubbled where the rim had the pitting had to remove the powder and just use paint it sucked ***.

SOunds like the rims needed to be bead blasted before coating.. had that been done, it probably would have been fine. I wanna have my stock wheels done over myself eventually, probably for the same reason you had yours done.. the nice black **** on the inner part of te wheel, that doesn't come off.

They were blasted clean down to the base meatal but the pits from the flaked crome allowed some serious oxidation to penatrate like pin holes and that's where the bubles came from. Or the guy just messed them up and came up with a good excuse. But the rims were blasted right down to the alu.
