Powdercoating Stock Rims

[Bgmeanie1995]

I want to do something unique with my 95 coupe. Has anyone seen 95' rims powdercoated? I'm trying to figure if I want to go this route vs. buying new rims & tires. (My tires have less than 200 miles since new last summer). Thanks for any suggestions.

If your stock wheels are in good shape,I would keep them in case you change your mind after your done. Go to E-Bay and buy another set (even if they are a little rough) and have them coated. Just my .02 worth

All the rims are mint. That's why I was hesitating. Do you know of any pics posted that show rims powdercoated?

Thanks again!

Hmmm... I can't find any pictures showing a C4 wheel that is powdercoated, except for the Grand Sport wheels of course. However, powdercoating is not really any different in overall appearance than paint. Depending upon the color you wish to powdercoat the wheels, you should be able to get an idea from any painted wheel. I know people have done them (the early C4 rims) in yellow before, because I do recall seeing pictures somewhere; I just can't find them now. :L

Thanks Ken. I am looking at black, gloss or flat, I just want something totally unique looking. Thanks again.
