It costs me $250CAN (around $160US) to get the wheels cleaned up sandblasted etc and then powder coated.

Where are your Koni spring perches set? I have my front ones stock and the rear ones on the lowest setting w/ my H&R Sports. Wheel gap is almost exactly even front and back on my car (less than 1 finger). Yours looks lower than mine in front, and about the same as mine in back.

are you the same guy thats posted these wheels off your car when you first got them powdercoated?? if so, the wheels looked bronze almost when they were off your car...on your car, they look almost identical to the ITR gunmetal...the same color im looking for...again, they look great...how much did you spend in misc. cost, like having your tires removed...then mounted and balanced again. also, did you have to remove the wheel weights, or did they do that for you, and the valve stems too... im trying to get an idea for how much i'll need here coming up...thanks!

I think my perches are set at the highest ones, I know they are for sure at back, don't forget I have the race springs not the sport.

Ya thats me, they probably looked bronze before because it was inside my house and I didn't use a flash so they looked darker. I spent $250CAN to get the wheels sandblasted/powdercoated, $5/wheel to get the tires, stems, and weights removed, $15/wheel to get tires put back on, balanced, and metal valve stems. So about $330CAN or about $215US.

Does anyone here know if there are any places in or near NC that powdercoat rims? If not, i'm gonna have to be industrious and paint them myself. And if anyone has painted them, what kind of paint did you use? They will be gunmetal for sure...any info would be great! thanx!
