Powder coated rims POST PICS HERE!
 
I plan on getting my 19"s powder-coated lime green & black in the spring. Just curious of what color(s) people had done to theirs. I'm sure there is another thread like this but i haven't located it. Post pics please :tup:

Impressive! I'm really liking how the Nismo rim came out. Got me thinking black with a lime green lip. Simple but exactly what i'm looking for

Mike 11-08-2012 06:12 PM

yeah, two tone is a bit more work, but looks great.

Macey370z 11-08-2012 06:17 PM

Do you only deal locally?

Mike 11-08-2012 06:29 PM

no, I do almost zero local business. Its all mail order. Even so, with shipping both ways, I'm still usually faster than most local shops, the only drawback is shipping expense with wheels.

Good idea just getting the top of the lug powdercoated, makes sense so when taking the wheels off it won't chip!

Did you wind up going with Lazer Crystal, I can't tell from the picture, but looks a little different? Either way, they look great!

dmhenderson 11-15-2012 07:11 PM

Yes, it's lazer crystal. Thanks for the suggestion. They sparkle under direct sunlight but it's kinda hard to see from the photos.

Actually all the blue was done by the powdercoater, but not powdercoated. He also does Pinstripping. All the blue has been hand painted on with a small azz brush.

They look even better on the car! I think that is my one my favorites out of all that I have done.
Those and the wheels I had on my Corvette:

Thanks, King Sport is the color, it was a two-stage job plus gloss. Prices are listed on the site, pretty reasonable if you ask me.

Did you have to have the tires dismounted, or do they do mounting and balancing?

In every single case I've run across, you either do it yourself (assuming you have access to the proper equipment) or you have to pay someone to do it for you. I just paid the body shop that brokered the deal with the powder shop for me.

I dunno. Bronze rims done right look great on the gunmetal cars but I dunno about silver.

He's located in a business park, so he just had his neighbor(tire guy) across from him dismount them for a small fee. As for the remounting, I was able to get it done at Rollo's Solutions off of Richmond and Chimney Rock. A lot of shops were afraid to touch them, even got turned down at a Nissan dealership.
