I have stock rims and the finish is really coming off of them, is there any way I can restore them or change them in a way they will look good?

That sounds like a good idea, what color did you paint them and what kind of paint did you use?

Easy powdercoat them. Its more durable than paint and its not that expensive.Plus the colors you can get are wild.

Not that expensive?? Most places in my area charge $175 per wheel to powdercoat.
Does no one read the posts in the third gen forum?Ive been talking about this for weeks.I can do 15" rims any basic color for $100 per wheel if you prep them (sandblast or chemical strip the old finish off) or $130 if I have to do the prep.Right now though 15" is as big as I can go.Also Im doing small parts like valve covers,intakes,etc.Im in IL. just south of Chicago.Email me if your interested at:

$130 per wheel is still ridiculous. I'd rather spend that money for brand new 15" Rota light-weight wheels that actually look decent.
