Powder coat my new rims..?

ksa · 04-18-2016, 12:12 AM

I recently had this done. Went with Satin Black for mine and love the look. Will post a pic.

ksa · 04-18-2016, 12:13 AM

Here..as stated its satin black. So in the middle of matte black and gloss black.

Baking wheels to powder coat WILL ruin integrity but if you only see the street to get groceries it won't matter. Try driving those same wheels at the track jumping over berms. Wouldn't take the risk if it was me.

If they are expensive wheels I wouldn't let someone bake them again just in case shit. However you can get them stripped, painted, and clear coated.

Why don't you try pink or purple?

I have two sets of wheels - satin black and your regular silver. But they both end up gunmetal because brake pads lol

Chrome wheels are a good way to get pulled over by cops.

My problem with powdercoating is that they always somehow end up kinda dull. Even with a coat of clear over them they never give off the same look as painted. I did both powdercoating and painting on a set of wheels and the paint looked a million times better.

gtron - don't you remember....Tuned N54's are WAAAAYYYY faster than any other car BMW makes....I'd never get caught

If you chrome them, you can't tint the windows, SOMEBODY might get the wrong impression after sunset. Think of the other people on the road who might get hit by a speeder trying to get away from you.

^ That was suppose to be in all caps but fun ruined by ruiners.

I'm not lazy enough to write this complaint but I am too lazy to rewrite that to bypass their silly regex filters.

Upon further review, my favorite part of this picture is that there is obviously stuff going on - bro in suite, female in dress, cute kid. Picture taken of car. Lolz.

ASBSECU E93 · 04-19-2016, 07:49 AM

Haha keen observation we had just returned from an event. I cut the picture small to try and reduce as much background stuff as I could lol.
