ya, they did full sandblasting of the wheel, proper prep, let me pick the color of out like 1,000 different colors, and turned them around in a couple days. I think I found 1 tiny blemish where a grain of dirt got into the finish while it cured.

those look good!! what was the cost if you recall?? i sent them a email asking for a base price.

Caravanshaka

they charged me $75 per wheel + tax. so it was about $330 overall I believe.

i have a black Z! so i was thinking about blacking it out. then i thought i would do black chrome or gun metal silver for the rims. when i get the balls to do the headlights going to do them flat black with the light covers gun metal sliver. i thinking and hoping it will set it off. oh and with iron man lights or those angle eye.

Caravanshaka

cool

They have tons of blacks and gun-metals. Not sure if they have black chrome, can't quite remember. I'd suggest going in and finding the color first to make sure they have exactly what you want. Also, don't forget, you'll need to dismount the tires an dremount after they powdercoat, so that might be another $100.
