So I Powder Coated My Wheels..
I had them done by a good friend of mine here on Staten Island. I highly recommend him for any and all things metal that you can powder coat. He does the job right and won't allow any work to go out his doors if it would give him anything less than a fully satisfied customer. For any questions or quotes shoot him an email at info@espospowdercoating.com
Now, these were my first wheels, and been through a beating over the time I have had them. Curbing and brake dust pitting all over them as a Hyper Silver wheel. After having another set of wheels and coming back to these, I decided to powder coat them. Here is the finished product with a few pictures I took. WARNING: DO NOT get white wheels if you do not enjoy cleaning your wheels every 15 minutes ! Oh boy do these things get dirty. Had them for two days and they've been cleaned five times already. But, all the dirt just wipes right up with your finger, the gloss finish is amazing. |

Ive thought about doing the centres on my LM reps in white but everyone says white wheels are a nightmare to keep clean haha. Yours look fantastic but sound a nightmare already! |

I wanted to originally do a color such as dark mattalic blue or burgundy red metallic. LOved the colors, just wasn't sure of it on my car. White I knew would look good. Can't complain about these tires at all, for the price, I better not ! Hah. |

Currently on Eibach springs, they are a bit bouncy, impossible to have 19" wheels because of it. When I find 1300 to buy some KW V1, maybe I'll do it
I hope so, I'll try it out. I am definitely now in the market for something that will help repel some brake dust. |

Looks great, love the color, but realistically for me that's one of the last colors I would do esp in florida with the constant rain and road grime. Would be sick for a show setup tho. I just couldnt pull over every 20 min to clean them.
