i think you should have wheels painted instead of powdercoat since your stock 19's is forged? i believe wheel paint is about $180 each, sanding included (must be). IMO, for

IMO, for the price, you should just save up and get aftermarket wheels |

I guess I made an impulsive decision today.
I was sitting in my class thinking about what color would be best for my pearl white Z34. I ended up taking all the rims off my car and throwing it into the back of my friend's civic and then drove to this powder coating place. I'm getting it powder coated to gold(like the sti's bbs rims). I was gonna go for bronze or matte black, but I liked the gold sample that they had. We'll see how gold OEM rays rim look on white Z34 next week!

I saved almost $1000 by simply taking all the rims off the car and bringing just the rims to a specialized powder coating place called "Advance Powder Coating". I'm not sure how it's going to come out, but I've seen couple of their samples and they look very nice. $800 included gold powder coating + 2 layers of clear coat + sand blasting. I'll post pictures on Wednesday or Thursday as soon as I put the on my car
