wheel suggestions

Zsteve · 02-26-2010, 02:39 PM

I had my back tires changed out today at Nissan and they scrathed the rims, so they are going to fix them but I was wondering if this is a quick fix that wont last or look good? The scrathes are on the outer rim but the chips are more in the center where the rims stick out more. They let the rim fall on its side I think.

Also I was wondering how much it would be to have them power painted too. But I need some ideas for the powder paint design, I don think I want the whole wheel done. I have the touring rims.

i think powder coat gloss black or graphite color is the best. i have the touring rims as well and i was gonna powder coat it. But not anymore as i am switching to advan rs soon!

I'll vote for PC. When I got my OEM rims PC'd the shop was able to fill in a fairly large ding (I was moving some stuff on a shelf and an old leaf spring fell off the shelf and hit the rim on the ground below the shelf, dinged the rim pretty bad). After the PC there was no evidence of the ding.

Do body shops do the PC? I don't know who to go to to get it done

I just dont know if I want it all blue or only part blue. All blue might be too much but I dont know how to do only part blue. Which part should be blue and which shouldnt?

All blue would be over the top I think. I think the lip of the rim in blue would be nice and tastefull
