View Full Version : As promised Better rim pics LUVMY04V 05-03-08, 09:47 PM The coolest part about this powdercoat is how it changes with the light and how when it gets darker it actually reflects light more and gets darker so the car looks blacked out at night :cool2::cool:http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/brentman2006/0503081944.jpg

BTW - How dark is your tint? DRKSIDE 05-03-08, 11:20 PM Super sweet! Those look great! How much? Not to be an ass but I don't dig that at all. But it's your car. :) bossplayer 05-04-08, 01:26 AM Not to be an ass but I don't dig that at all. But it's your car. :)
Does this look equally bad, twice as bad, or not as bad to you?

Do you have the exact cooler they painted them? I am thinking about doing mine and the color I think would match the Thunder grey on my car well. CTSV_Rob 05-04-08, 02:11 AM I've just never been a fan of dark wheels

Looks good. Have the same look except on raven black. CTSV_510 05-04-08, 10:49 AM Luv - thats tits man. I'm a fan of dark wheels. I think I may just not clean mine until I get around to powdercoating!
Boss - I never liked red V's until I saw yours. If I were you I would get rid of the orange lenses, but that's just me. I know some people prefer the orange to clear or smoked... :ack:

No need to bother.
On a Redline the Orange Side Markers look great. thebigjimsho 05-04-08, 08:48 PM Sorry jon but when I first read the post I thought it was BigJim :hide:What a douche. You don't know me. If anything, I am a fan of dark wheels. I've owned a number of custom rims and had a set of black and gunmetal rims each on my SHO. What I find so retarded is all this custom dark rim look and you're too lazy to darken the grilles. LUVMY04V 05-05-08, 08:01 AM What a douche. You don't know me.

Now you are in the black on black club - Here is my car with powder coated rims. This pic is a bit old - I do have all the lights blacked out also.
Mick Just a shade darker than I would prefer but looks great. Very aggressive looking but yet still clean and respectable. I like.
My rims look like that all the time due to no wash and HP+'s :D
-Chris svtbolt2001 05-05-08, 12:04 PM I love it, How much did it cost to have the coated? LUVMY04V 05-05-08, 12:27 PM I love it, How much did it cost to have the coated?300:thumbsup: 300 for all of them?
Is it more durable than the current finish? bigREDfreshness 05-05-08, 01:30 PM To sandblast and powdercoat, a local shop wanted about $150 a wheel. I'd love to find $300 for four. That sounds wicked cheap. LUVMY04V 05-05-08, 01:56 PM 300 for all of them?

Agreed . . . I would do it in a sec for $300 but the prices I've been quoted . . . might as well buy a new set of wheels! thebigjimsho 05-05-08, 10:26 PM :stirpot: oh yes its gonna happen
Excellent! And Rob's still a douche.:yup: Excellent! And Rob's still a douche.:yup:
