what does it cost to get wheels powdercoated? And how durable is it? I know there are some people with this done cause I've seen it on here before.

it's pretty durable... correct me if im wrong guys but arent out stock TC wheels some sort of powder coating? and the cheapest i can find it around me is about $70-75/wheel but i just spend $450 on tires so it's no longer in the immediate budget. but looks much better than paint IMO unless alot of time and patience is used during painting

i think that's a photoshop in his sig, too. i have a buddy that had his painted gloss black. I wouldn't recommend doing any taping on those rims. I did it to my s/c stockers and it was soo freaking painful. i don't even think the end result was worth it. I'll see if i can get my friend to post some pics of his.

well considering im putting my new tires on tomorrow, should i get up early and just do it so that i dont have to tape the tires off (considering i could care less if they get paint on them, or should i wait til i get the new rubber on and go through the painstaking process of taking the tires off?

it's much easier if you line the tires with newspaper, or even put gobs of vaseline on them. I used vaseline on mine, and it worked just fine. The only problem is that you have to wipe it off once you're done, and if you don't you get gobs of it all over your car.
