do u want them painted or powder coated? i got mine powder coated

 

[epioidz]

That looks nice men. My problem is i dont know how to do it? I have an idea in painting it but no odea in powder coating. But your wheels looks nice. How did u do it?

 

[flako305]

well either way ur going to have to sand blast them.... powder coating requires a special gunand then into an oven so it could dry properly...

 

[epioidz]

oh.. i see! since i dont have the tools for powder coating, i will stick to paint...

i really want to know how to do that. and i was thinking of what color should i put on my black si?

There is a '12 civic si owner who plasticoated his wheels on youtube. idk how long it would last but its cheap and you can easily remove it or re do it. around my area its $20 per wheel to dismount and mount a tire and the powder coat process costs $60 per wheel and that includes glass beading the wheels and all the prep work. idk how that compares with your area but i live in a very small town in the middle of nowhere. there is also the down time to factor in .oh yeah one more thing that was $80 x 4 = 320 and i just spent $540+ tax on black wheels and plan to try to sell my stock ones...it should almost offset the total amount spent.i hope this helps:dancingcoolsmiley:

I personally think bronze rims look nice on black cars, but I'm not sure how bronze will look like on the stock wheels.

we sanded down my rims already, it took us 4 hours. like 1 hour each rim. we'll continue painting on monday... hope it turns out well...

i plasti-dipped mine, i will post a pic in a few min just need to get my phone

 

[irweezyy]

heres a few pics after the plasti-dip, its been on for a few weeks now and still looks legit, was easy to do as well, no sanding required, plus i can go back to stock if i really ever want to later on

i was just wondering what the plasti-dip was, is it a spray or did you take it somewhere?

your rims look sick!
