New wheels or Powdercoat Black?

hey everyone, i have been thinking about getting new wheels but the thought came to my mind about just black powder coating the 17" sport wheels i have now, anyone do this and know how much it would cost? Wondering if it would be cheaper to buy new wheels or powdercoat the wheels i have now. Thanks in advance!

 

Black Steelies! Cheap and Functional

 

yeah i have the tips of my exhaust powder coated they look badass and was wondering if i could do the same to my rims, not sure about the rattle can though, i want something durable

 

ya know hodgey..........im thinking about using bedliner on my old stock alum wheels that came on my truck. if i do....i'll have to post pics.

 

the bed liner on the wheels looks sweet this is the Lund truck at sema about 1/3rd of the truck is sprayed w/ bed liner including the Mickey Thompson wheels

 

will what are you thinkin comin in and takin over my thread, haha your lucky your cool haha

 

i so sorry!!!

 

lol nah its cool man, so you think i should powdercoat them or what

 

if you wanna spend the money...go ahead, but if i were you, i'd just rattle can them. alot easier to touch up then powdercoat is,and i guarantee you they will get scratched up when wheeling.

 

alright it was just a thought, wanted to get everyones opinions on it, and i know powdercoat is very durable so it was an idea, not sure what im gonna do yet. thanks guys

 

I think I saw an older thread where a guy was selling his powdercoated rims. He said he paid $200 to have that done.

Edit: Here's the thread: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/buy-sell-trade/14681-fs-08-trd-offroad-wheels.html. They're 16s so you probably wouldn't want them but you can get an idea of what it looks like.

 

Powdercoat them, they will look badass

 

Anyone already black out their Sport rims??? Any pics? I am thinking of doing the same...

 

powdercoat them, i personally like the rims on the TRD packages and black would look even better

 

Thanks for the pics!! That looks awesome... I'll add to the list.

 

Definitely powder coat them, but your taco is gonna be stuck on some blocks for a couple days while it gets done. With powder coating you cant go wrong with black or matching them to the color of your truck. Its still cheaper to powder coat them then it is to buy new rims.

 

Yeah i was qouted 50-75 a rim not bad almost did, but bought my mojave's instead, in my case i would powdercoat them.

 

paint them and save the money, im doing mine tomorrow... ur still gonna have to pay to get the wheels off the tire and put back on
