powder coating wheels...
 

anyone know of a place that does wheels?

I got a set of wheels just hanging out... figured I'd powder coat them and slap 'em on a car.

Place called Capco, behind the Rio did the 17" TSWs I had on my Tiburon.

what did they charge? i want to find a place that is a good price and fast turn around time, that would also take tires of the rims and do everything.

They don't do anything as far as removing tires or wheel weights or valve stems. You need to bring the rims to them ready to go. They charged me $75/rim to media blast and coat them. This was several years ago, so don't be shocked if the price is higher now.

I would be curious to see how they are. I took my brake calipers to Vegas Powdercoating before SEMA and while all looked good at first. The calipers look like complete ass now.

^Yeah, but you also race yours...You just need yours to be black. LOL And Brown brembos on the evo. haha

^^^They didn't turn brown or anything. They are chipped, peeling, turning pink in places, etc.

maybe they weren't clean enough before coating? And chipped away from rocks and tools? I think Kris's wheels have chipped some from putting on and taking off so many tires.

^^^Maybe, but thats my point. They didn't do a good job. Powdercoating is supposed to be strong. This particular job is no stronger than a half assed paint job.

Just like any project....its all about the prep.

wow, my G2 kit seems to be tougher then the PC...weird.

My wheels are powdercoated but I have no idea where they were done!

oh, it's Kam. long time no talk.

Well if someone finds an awesome deal on the powdercoating lemme know. i want to get the middles of my volks powdercoated black. Also gotta get my lips reworked so that all the rash is gone.

Nice job! I bought mine off of Mikey (SinCity350Z) and he had his powdercoated gunmetal and had the lip polished.

And I bought them off of a member on My350Z.com who was the one who actually got the powdercoating/polishing done :).

We get some parts at my work powdercoated (industrial type mechanical parts) so I'll find out where it is done and see if they will do wheels.

i'm getting a pair of wheels sandblasted today to see how they'll look without the paint on them.

if they look alright, add some tires and i'll be happy with that.

Stan is getting his powder coated down in Cali, he should be back Sunday (supercharged too, lucky bastard, lol). I am curious to see how the stock wheels looked powercoated.

ok, took the wheels to get sandblasted and just rattle canned them in my garage.

came out pretty nice looking. will have to take before/after pictures tomorrow when there's more light.

Yes, I have Stans Roadster with me. Here is the powdercoated wheels (on and off the car)

I will make another post about the SC install. Stay tuned................

Woohoo. Looks great.

WOW....the pic with them on the car is awsome....very nice

+1, looks good Stan!

It was REALY hard to come up with a powdercoating color that would;

A) Make the stock wheels look more agressive (trying to not do them black)
B) Would look good and not clash, but go good with the dark blue convertable top
C) And, a color that would be different enough from the stock silver color to notice.

I think they came out pretty good. :)
