So just found out 3 out of the 4 rims are bent, sad face. So I figure it's time to resurface and repair my OEM GSR wheels! Any advice on what to expect? Also thinking about powder coating my rims. Debating on 4 choices to compliment WW: Red, Gunmetal, black, or white. Or I could just leave them stock. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

 

brembo red

 

I'd go gunmetal but that's just my opinion.

 

Go for flat black.

 

what wheels are you going with?

 

Id go flat black and plasti dip them instead of powder coating. I heard that when they bake after powder coating they sometimes crack. But, I cannot confirm this, just what I heard. I plasti dipped my stockers in flat black. It was easy, cheap and look really good. The best part.................if you don't like it just peel it off.

And I know someone is going to ask how long it lasts. Ive had mine on for 6 months now and look just fine.

 

I'm on the stock ones. Not sure if I want to plastidip, do they have only make flat black?

 

Nope, they have flat and gloss

 

that have all sorts of colors

I am doing this to my wifes C250 black plus the glossifier. Its a lease so its perfect. Just peal off when its time to return the car.

I just bought the wheel plus kit from dipyourcar....72$ out the door with shipping, taxes, etc.

 

I read somewhere that the powder coat process tempers the metal and weakens it

 

Any ideas how much it costs to repair minor curbage along the outer lip? Do they generally just grind it down or add filler for the deeper ones?

 

Not to sure, guy said that it would usually run $175 to $200 per rim (granted mine are bent and crashed up). Luckily I bought the wheel and rim insurance for $500 so costs me nothing

 

Black is so played out. Every ricer Honda and his buddies Pontiac gran Prix has black rims. I would do red for sure.

 

I was leaning towards black then I realized everyone under the sun has black. I just wonder will red look tacky?

 

And is powder coating reversible? Can it be removed?
