I thought at first I would like doing something like that but the more and more I looked at it I didn't like it as much.

I think it looks good, but what if you reversed it and went white centers with black lips? Might be easier to maintain?

Hit me up if you want to borrow a set of rims while you get these done. I still have the 19's sitting in the garage.

BTW, you never called me back.

Was quoted $750 today to do the job
all 4 wheels sanded/painted?
fair price??
ALSO WILL THEY STAY WHITE???

dychen

Most OEM wheels are painted.

But powdercoating would be stronger. Are they going to take the wheels apart to do it?

yep
just seems a bit steep to only pint the lips

Well, you have to add in the cost to dismount/mount tires, labor to assemble/disassemble the wheel, reseal everything, blast, paint, and balance. I'm sure a lot of it is in the labor as each bolt needs to be torque to a specific number. Probably what 40 to 50 bolts on each wheel? Not saying you couldn't find someone to do it cheaper but that's probably what they are justifying it as. Ask them what the hourly rate is and how long they estimate. That's probably how they came up with the number.

I don't care for it much. Looks a little ghetto to me.
