Black Chrome Powder Coat Rims

[JdGuy456]

Hey everyone!

I was looking for some advice. I still have the stock rims on my '03. (they are 17s the same type as those attached below) They came with the sport luxury package and to be honest I really like them, despite being stock. I have a black powder coated V-grille and was thinking about powder coating the rims. I REALLY like the look of the black chrome rims I have seen on this board.

What do you all think, would it be stupid for me to powder coat my stock rims black chrome? It's not in the budget for me to buy new ones.

Also, how much should I expect to pay to powder coat all 4? I am expecting somewhere in the range of $300-500.

do it!!!

i have gloss black Enkei LS5 wheels on my car. my first car had powder-coated black rota subzero wheels, so you can say i'm partial to the look.

I was planning on going with the black chrome as opposed to the gloss black. I bet both would look good tho. How much did it cost you to get the powder coating done?

My guy in Florida will do 4 rims Black Chrome for $300.00 but you got to ship the rim w/o the tire to and from.

Got mine all done for $300....I use them for winter rims with Blizzak tires

^ i can't wait to do that to my winter wheels. ^

JDGuy - i had a set of wheels powdercoated for $75 each before. My LS5's came in black, so did the subzeros.

my friend has had black chrome wheels on his talon since 2002. i'll never get tired of that look.

I really like the fact rims you have. I have
them as well. I had just purchased a second set due to improper cleaning from some TARD who previously owned my car.
They are not cheap..try aprox 280.00 each new.

DO IT...and put up a pic...ive been thinking the same thing since i got mine because the chrome on mine is all chipped..just overall bad shape. only thing stopping me is my car is white...i was thinkin about doing a metallic gun metal dark grey on mine. almost black but not quite.
