I was wondering... how much does this run for... ? Let's just they 16inch rims.. there I guess um.. forged aluminum... nothing fancy.. just powdercoated glossy black... Is it worth the money to make these rims look better? or should I just do the Poor Mans verison, and paint them myself?

Why dont you call a local powdercoating shop and ask them, or ask in the Texas regional section? Having someone on the other side of the country tell you how much they paid isnt going to help you at all.

 

haahhaha... I know brother.. but unfortunately ther arent any locally... just trying to get an idea at what it cost... closest one I could find is in Dallas... just wondering if its worth it or not..

 

u said they were 16's, are they stock 5 spoke wheels or aftermarket ?

 

Well there is a good write up in the how-tos on painting stock 16" wheels. If local places are too far away you could try it yourself.

 

yeah DAVE H. did that, it looks SICK, cause he make the headlights and taillights black and the tinted windows, his car has an awesome effect

 

there some enkies... not stock.. just some that came with the car... I just want to change them up a bit...have an extra set or maybe sell them for a bit more.. with a cleaner look... but yeah there aftermarket...

 

Powdercoating including prep will run u around $50 per wheel depending on the place that does it....

 

When I had mine powder coated it ran a bit over a hundred a wheel.
Here in Austin the average rate seemed to be 100 per wheel. Mine cost a bit over the hundered per wheel because I wanted to keep my polished lip so they charged a bit more for the masking of the lip.
