Default Paint blasted rims

Does anybody know where i can get my stock 07 rims paint blasted. I have a black s2k and was thinking blasting them black or gold. You guys think thats a good idea or what? and what color should i do them. Suggestions please!

you mean powder coated? I think that's what you are saying.. and yes getting them black would look sweet, maybe gold too, but I don't really like the gold wheels thing a whole lot

here's one place that does it.

Sunset Powder Coating Map 10.20 miles
(808) 454-2500

96-1276 Waihona St, Pearl City, HI 96782

BTW- you can save lot of money painting the yourself... powdercoating is stronger but paint can last quite some time when used on wheels.

most members powdercoat. i cant remember but there are a few companies who do powdercoat rims on oahu. i pulled some up on superpages:

personally, im a silver or gunmetal fan on silverstone.
in the end, it depends of your budget and the look your going for. i would weigh the cost of powercoating versus new rims. good luck!

if i powder coat them, how long do they last before i have to redo them(I'm thinking rock will chip the color off and just aging) and btw, those white powdercoats are ****en sick!

powdercoating is better than paint. less prone to rock chips and discoloring from brake heat.
