HardcoreZ28 can powdercoat them for you if you decide to go that route.

stole the pic off of here i don't know who's it is

anyway how much are you looking to spend? i've helped a few friends spray paint wheels and they come out pretty well and actually hold up to quite a bit

i would powdercoat and rim tape them. figure out what the hell he did for center caps too. looks a billion times better than the ones they usually have.

well i dont think those have center caps on them..but what is rim tape? cuz tape you can put on rims to make it look like part of the rim is painted?

the motorcycle guys use it. its just to get that red stripe without painting it. i would just bring a wheel to a body shop with the pics and see if anyone wants to do it and how they would.

Do it yourself...few cans of primer and wheel paint. Sand the wheels first w/ a light grit sand paper...I paid 50 bucks in materials, you can either order it from summit/jegs or just run up to advanced.

id do the red first...then tape off the part you want to stay red. black goes over red easier than red goes over black

I am actually in the Middle of opening a Maaco in Union with my uncle right off of Rt. 22...so im thinking once we hire someone to paint, ill talk to him and let him do the wheels for me...we already have a paint booth here, so im thinking im better off waiting the few weeks till we open and letting them get done in a booth rather then rush it, try to do it myself at my house, and them wind up looking like crap
