wow really low prices for powder coating. well my last wheels were pc green. It was on my bike so don't say **** about the green wheels they look sick. The pc itself was expensive due to being special ordered. black would be cheaper. My guy makes sure they are clean and straight before he does it. Also comes with lifetime warranty on the pc.

ya noticed he did but most don't. Powder coating is just easier I think too lol. I guess if you are on a budget painting them would be ok as long as you prep and use good paint. There is a store near me "the paint store" off camino capistrano that has really good paint and all the equpiment you need it is for automotive use only.
doesn't look ricey to me! that **** looks pimp!!!!!
HOOK IT UP MAN!!!!!!

Ismael sandblasts the wheels, depending on the material, (he hand sanded my wheels since he said sandblasting my wheels might cause tiny little little micro pores that might weaken the wheel structurally) and he fixed my curb rash too.
Just stop by to see him and he'll chat with you. You have the info.
