Hey Guys,

So I went to my local powdercoat shop and asked them to powder my wheels. The gave me a good price, I wanted to know your idea if black wheels will look good on a WW, if anyone has pictures please post. If I get them done in black they will be matte black, thats what I am leaning towards...

Btw, how much is it to get them Powdercoated up there in Naples? and how long would it take them? I'll probably go over tomorrow (if they're open).

Why couldn't we get that color stock? it looks so nice. I think thats what i'm goin to do. Did u notice the wingless RA. Looks nice IMO.

i'm on the same boat thinking about powdercoating.....im leaning towards matte black too or maybe low low gloss black.....what;s holding me back is that my Ralliart will be down for at least a week and I have to go thru the trouble of having another shop to dismount the tires and only bring the rims to the powdercoating place.....

what kind of prices did your shop quote you at if you dont mind me asking. The best price I got in Connecticut is $300 out the door but I'd have to pay someone else to dismount the tires then remount them and balance.

I have a friend at a shop that is going to demount and remount the tires and put the sensors back on for 50 bucks his dad owns a nice shop. For the rim I got the same proce 75 per rim or 300 for all 4 that includes sandblasting old crap off, and then putting the powder on.





So what u guys think.

Hum.... that black looks dirty; I know two guys with WW RAs and black powercoated rims; bad... well, not my prefference; I think the Gunmetal gives it a Lexus look that's always a good thing

It's not wingless. Thats the 2010 sportback model. It has a wing you can't really see it from that angle but its there.
