For the plastic, I would use Krylon Fusion. It will work well.

how much cost powder coatting the stock wheels?


It's kind of pricy here in PC because of supply and demand but its $85/wheel if preped already and if not preped they have a guy they send the wheels to that charges $65/hr.

All said and done I'll probably pay around $550

U can use Duplicolor hi performance wheel paint for the center caps. I used that for my rims and center caps and they're both holding up well after 2 years from the date they were painted.

What kind of finish are you getting done? I found them online the other day and was considering giving them a call, $75 a wheel seems like a pretty good price. Can you post pics once you get them back?

If I wanted my rims spray painted then I would spray paint them. :top:

Does this "PC Kit" you speak of happen to come with a bead blaster and oven large enough to accomodate a wheel?

Thanks brother, I'll check that out.

looking good... however I think all black is just too much black... black also look small so I think it makes the wheels look smaller then they really are.

Only reason I went for matte black on my truck was because of all the ''rivets'' all around the wheels... they give some details to the wheels and make them look better I think...

your truck looks good however and if you like them that way then perfect

It's true cause when I wear black shoes my feet look small and white shoes make them look big. The rivets ur talking about on ur rims I'm not a fan of, just more shit to try and clean. I like a simple rim that's easy to get to all the tight spaces and make them clean
