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

what color is your car? this is the best looking set of wagon wheels i've ever seen:
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

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.

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
