Thinking of powdercoating my Advan RSs!

I was thinking about sending off my Advan RSs to get powdercoated.
Could someone powdercoat them like time attack? like all black with red ring around outter lip?
Or is powdercoating only for one color?

very true...and the CE28's are a lot lighter, stronger, and they fit better. i think it looks retarted when people get those GTR offsets on advans. not that it doesn't look badass, but unless you run crazy camber, roll/pull fenders, or stretch small tires, or any combonation of those, they rub. they sit either flush with the fender, or they poke out. just get wheels that fit please.

you cant powder coat them like a time attack because the tape protecting the lip from the black will come off in the oven you could get them powdered black and get the red lip painted on but double powder coat is impossible

... They look good! they are DGM, but I think I want them black.
And rolling your fenders takes like 2 hours, not that big of a deal.
I asked could it be done and not what I should have done in your opinion.

Have the wheels pow coated black, then afterwards have the lip taped off and paint the lip red with quality paint of some sort. I did that on my old Z and they turned out mint!!

theres a guy on socalevo that got his BBSs powdercoated time attack style. I guess you just need to find a good shop to do it.
