hey guys for some odd reason my rims are starting to chip. i was wondering if it be best to get them all powder coated or just to save up for new rims. If powder coat should i do white?? i have yellow and some people think it would look ugly.
thanks guys

 

Mine are chipped too, from where the stock wheel weights used to be. I never checked the rim to see if the firestone guy chipped them or what. STUPID on my part. Damn it...

only blind people think they are powder coated..
actually smits came out like a big stick of butta!!

 

so what the best kinda stuff that will last long? im thinkin about powder coating my wheels black and leave the polished lip.

 

Take it to a local machine shop, the majority of them do powdercoating..and will offer some type of guarantee.

 

you know how much a place would charge?

 

localing here in UT, they charge~$20-$40/wheel.

call around.

 

We personally charge $40/wheel... if you can find a place that does it for less than I'd say jump on it. Most places actually charge upwards of $60 or $70 per wheel.

 

i paid 240 stripped and painted for 17s

got them flat black. No money for rubber though. saving for S03s

 

We include bead blasting in our price, but that price is also for 16s. Are the stock Type R wheels 17s?

PS- I just did my stock wheels for my car a kind of mixture between flat and gloss black... it came out great. I have pictures if anyone wants to see them even though it's not Honda/Acura related.

DIY foo...Rustoleum paint is were its at me and my friends have "powdercoated" like 4 or 5 sets of wheels...all you have to do is do a REALLY good tape job on your tires and let that rattle can spray...
