Cool, so just plain black, right? How much did it cost you to get the powdercoating done? Did they have to sandblast the wheels first?

I got an estimate of $200 from a local shop for the whole set of 4. Downside is I have to dismount the tires from the wheels myself and jack up the car.. and he said it takes about 3 days to get the whole thing done.

I bought the car with powdercoated wheels.
I think it would be a better procedure if they sandblast the wheels first for more adhesion.

$200 is a good deal, here in socal it takes about 2 days turn around.
Good luck!!

you'd have to ride in an IS-F to understand..its an amazing experience.. but hey the X is still cheaper and gives a good driving experience
