i got my wheels done at spectrum powdercoating in titusville. it was an hour drive for me, but he charges $50 a wheel and they look AMAZING in person.

i don't think he can powdercoat in chrome, it would probably come out looking like crap but he can get a shiny silver definitely. Mine are black with a clear coat over them. can't wait to get some tires

I didnt look close enough to the rims. I thought you got them powdercoated. the whole rim not just the inserts. looks good now that you point it out. I just want them to repowdercoat the rims the stock color. just a few chips in the paint.
thanks

yea the entire rim is powdercoated gloss black. the reflection from the sun is what makes the bottom left one look weird. i had to spraypaint the centercaps myself but they came out good. He will do any color you want, the guy kicks ***.
