I thought about it, but I'm not sure how long I will actually like it. I tend to keep thing simple and clean and I might grow tired of it after a while.

Anybody figure out the owners that have had wheels break due to powder coating?

Hey Corey! Will your friend do another set for you? My other set of stock VIII wheels now need powdercoated too.

These are sweet!!!! I know what I am going to do with my additional set of stockers now! Who do these belong to? I would like to know the paint code or manufacturer for this set-up. Thanks for responding!

Okay....I'm having some problems.

I dropped my wheels off the other day. They have been painted already with some DupliColor spray paing and sandable primer. Well the guy said that he is sand blasting them, but its not going all the way down to the metal and it's taking forever.

Is the stock wheels already powdercoated from the factory? He said they have to be to the bare metal in order for the powdercoat to stick. I'm almost for sure that I took alot if not all the paint off while sanding them.

Any of you that already had your wheels done. Could you call the place and see what they did to get the finish off? He even used aluminum oxide and he said it was taking forever.
