Powder Coating Stock Enkei rims

i have a few questions on powder coating the stock Enkei rims.
1.) Where can I get it done (So Cal area)?
2.) How much would it cost for all 4 rims?
3.) Does it look professional?
4.) What color do you guys suggest on a white evo?

Thanks guys!

White on white will look fine, I am actually saving to get my OZ rims powdered black. I found a good place that will do it $45 a rim, but that's up in Victorville. Just start looking for a good shop that does quality work for cheap. Your rims will cost more 'cause they are bigger, but not much more.

Hey, I happen to do the same thing tomorrow if I have time. I know a place in Huntington Beach. The powder coat was $35/wheel any color u want, they said it needs to be stripped for $75 all four wheel. They gave me a total of $250 to do all four and it will take 7 days.

With black you can go with any color. Still no EVOs with pink, or neon green rims yet!

I think red would be bad ***, but that's just me. The coolest WRX I ever saw was blue w/ yellow rims. Loud colors are just cool IMO.

Thats what I thought. If I go for gold or bronze, some may think I'm wanna be subie. I think gun metal is ok.

I had those at my MX-3



Too bad they only come in 4 lugs.
