I have a set of black Advan SA3r's with the red lip. Im getting my car repainted Rio red and the paint guy said he can redo the rims to look like new, and match the rio red the lip. Should i go ahead and do this, or is it a bad choice, should I be powdercoating instead? Also, I need to repaint the center cap that goes over the lugs, so no more super advan sticker, where can I re-order more? Thnaks for your help!

If you powdercoat, it will require disassembly of the wheels because it will be heat treated (baked), unless you want just one color for the entire wheel. As for painting, not only is it cheaper, it's a quicker process i think.

But powdercoating is more durable...will last longer...but both are still no match more curbage

 

Powder coat is way more durable for wheels?
And easier to clean brake dust off

 

Powdercoat. Much better. However if your center caps are plastic they cannot be powdercoated.

 

Just paint it, it's way easier especially if the guy said he'd do it for you. It'll look great

 

I powder coated my wheels took 4 hours, because i sandblasted to bare, also this includes demount, remount, and balance all in 4 hours, powdercoat dries very quick

 

if the curbage isnt to bad i would just leave them original. i own the same wheels but in blue, and without the advan logo or center caps they look like the rota knock offs. but i have thought about polishing them

 

nice car btw.

 

LOL @ the DSM license plate.

just have them painted. if they dont turn out to your liking, strip them down and take them to a powdercoater.

 

trade me, lol if your gonna paint them, i want some red advans for my red rex!!

 

Yeah, i'd like to find some advan stickers. The original color of the rims are starting to fade, it really needs some tlc.

 

I have a 1997 Eclipse GSX (AWD) with 500hp My civic is my daily driver. Thus, I have the dsm license plate frame from road race
