PowderCoated wheels....

[papasmurf]

are the wheels 17's? The wheels I have are the same spoke design but have a polished lip around the out side of the spoke area that is not painted.

I agree with JD, I dont think you have enough of a true lip to do much of a contrast. If anything, maybe do a small pinstripe on the outside edge of the wheel. A powdercoating shop would have to tape off where they didnt want the powder to go, and there isnt much area for it to not go. Plus before you get them powdercoated they will need to be stripped. It can fairly costly. You'll have to price post ways, paint and powdercoat.

Hey does anybody know about chrome dipping? What if i did this in black?

black chrome is pretty awesome.

Info from a friend at ccw, he sent his (photos below) to Japan simply because it was actually cheaper for him to do so. iirc, the outside rim black chrome finish was 200 per wheel plus shipping to/from japan. For places in the US he made these suggestions:

- California Chrome (do both the PVD coating I had as well as actual Black Chrome)
- DippedParts.com (Mikey is the guy who runs it but unprofessional so not 100% on sending ppl that way)
- Jerrome 714.225.4394 some where on the west coast; haven't seen his work but have had 2 customers send wheel directly to him to get done. Seems like a cool guy and answers his phone.
