do you guys have any ideas for getting my wheels bronze? i called about 20 shops in my area that does anodizing and none will do that color. my last thought would be to paint them at a professional paint shop. anyone have any thoughts?

Powder coat

I would look into threads regarding wheel strength being compromised from powdercoating before doing so.

yah powdercoating really compromises the wheel strength.

i would personally paint them. its a little more economical and you can have them clear coated if you want to keep em shiny

Powdercoating is the way to go.

I've had 2 sets of wheels and know several other people who have had wheels powdercoated with no adverse effects.

Plan on appx. $75-$100 per wheel for powdercoating

is it the heat in powder coating that causes the potential problem?

The powder coat is heated to 400 degrees after it is applied to get it to "flow". I don't think 400 degrees is going to ruin a wheel.

there was a recent thread on this forum that discussed this topic, of course there were differing opinions

the best combo IMO
