What kind of rims are those and how much are they?

 

enkei rpf-1 and they are around 250 - 350 (17" - 18") depending on size, but they do not come in black like the ones in the pics above, those are custom painted.

 

Bump for more pics of GOLD stockers. I'm planning on repainting my stockers this weekend. I've had them gunmetal and bronze and I think I'm gonna try gold but I'd love to see more pics especially on a TB Evo.

 

Black BBS rims look GOOD

 

Actually, the complete wrong way to go.

Even low-temp powdercoat won't be as safe as normal paint. Powdercoating the wheels requires a shop to "bake" them, even with low temperature, goes to about 350-400 degrees. This can change the metal makeup of the rim to a more brittle material.

Due to the cornering load that the Evo can generate, I've seen a number of rims with the center spokes "punched out" due to the metal becoming very brittle.

High temperature powdercoating of rims is flat out dangerous. I would ONLY powdercoat your wheels with a low temperature powdercoat if they are for show only.

I strongly recommend against doing it if you drive it hard, or plan to track it, AT ALL.

well the best part of doing it urself is u can always fix them real quick.

ive already curbed one and the next day took me a good half hour with a bit of sanding and a brillo pad to smooth it out. didnt take much for painting.

 

hey where can i get a hold of some enki stickers to stick back on my rims once i get them painted??

 

I got mine on Ebay.

 

Its ENKEI not ENKIE

But black stocker's look awesome!!

 

I thought about painting my stockers too. hmmmm. and some silver enkei stickers would be nice.

 

That looks awesome.
