If you get wheels and want a new color, powder coat, don't paint. P.C holds up much much better to the elements, especially brake dust(that eats away paint)

Hey Buddy,
I looked while we were having Pre-Inventory and all we have at the moment is chrome wheels...
I checked the prices they are going for and it's roughly 100-130ish per wheel.
I don't know how powdercoating goes for wheels that are chrome - if it's possible I would just jump on those.
Apparently, all the OEM Silver ones we have we get sent in to get chrome since our dealership is ghetto and loves putting chrome wheels on every single new car...

Can you get them any time, or just right now. Oh - I don't want chrome, but I can't afford them right now anyway.

Yeah no way would i paint them myself. Powdercoat for sure.
Im assuming you mean $100 per front wheel and $130 each for rear.
So about $460, plus $120 for powdercoat, plus about $400 for tires.
So in the end im looking at about a g. Hmm..i might just stick with mine.

lmao. I saw a set of chrome ones on a c230 yesterday and could not get over how incredibly hood they looked.
Haha anyways. Ill talk to the guy and see how the powdercoating side goes on chrome rims. Meanwhile, in go the subs and i think im buying a laptop so I'll be low on money til next paycheck.
If you were to have and silver ones do you think they'd be cheaper? Since it might be a couple weeks anyways.
BTW: thanks a whole super mega lot.

No problem for the help dude. I'll keep on the look out though and try to get a deal on those wheels.
