Powder coated wheel pics...

My Dad just got his wheels back from the powder coater. Theywere done in a Glacier white color and the lugs in a red that almost matchs the body color. Then he took that same red and used it for the center caps. I think everything came out looking great! And the best part is now we have a new look, for less than 1 new rim would cost.

love the look of the rims...

would have left the nuts and dust cap alone though.

overall, a very ingenious way to mod the car, for not a lot of dough. good thinking.

Thanks guys...

Durablility? Not to sure, I hear that powder coating is pretty strong though.

No they didn't paint the wheel weights, we did with the matching paint to help it give a uniform look.

Also though its a little large for such a short video (5.2mb) you can see the wheels in motion in this video.
