should took off the wheel weight, removed the tire. took the wheels to get powdercoated. then had the tires put back on then balanced with stick on weights....

spraypaint wheels on a 35k car = junk sorry

it looks decent though

i keep hearing that powdercoating hurts forged wheels, but if that's true, then how do they powdercoat them from the factory? there are plenty of wheels out there that come in colors other than silver.

I think it looks really good and I'm sure the integrity will hold just nicely, and if not as well, omg another coat of paint! the world is going to end! Just because it's cost effective doesn't make it necessarily crappy.

for you guys saying that its crappy or ricey or whatever to use a cheap thing for a higher class car....

for performance, why would anybody buy an evo when you could buy a ferrari? Because you can get just as good performance from an evo with a little work as a ferrari can and spend a crap load less money
