If you still want the enkei logo, all you have to do is go to a local sign store like "signs now" and they can make you vinyl decals that are exactly the same as the ones from the factory. This is what Im doing when I powercoat my wheels.

How much does it typically cost to powdercoat?

Ethan

Well the place where we got it done charges $196 for a set. But then if the wheels need to be sand blasted then that will be an extra chage. From what I'm told this seem to be a pretty average price. $50 a wheel, not too bad.

Very nice . I'm seriously thinking about doing the same thing to my wheels for the time being, untill I can get some 18's later on. After the power mods of course.

Nice, but watch out cause powder coated rims get dirty really easily.It starts to become a real pain in the ***...
believe me I know

did you guys paint the center caps yourself?

Ethan

Yes the center caps were painted by us. Because they are plastic the place could not powder coat them also.

Cleaning is sort of hard and not. The key is waxing your wheels. Yes that's right, wax your wheels. Dirt comes right off with just a wipe!

They only had to keep the wheels about 3-4 days, but the tires had to be removed before hand of course.
