If you like the wheels and don't like the color, have them powdercoated w/e color you like, should be able to get this done for a reasonable price.

$50/rim is a reasonable price, but I think they look good as they are.

C2s are hot though...

What's your drop? Btw they look --okay--, they don't look ugly enough for you to change them ASAP, but I'd take my time with the money, and eventually change em

$50 is a good price to get them powdercoated. Usually i hear anywhere from $50-$150 a wheel. I think you should do a Dark Bronze color or else i've seen some people do a black wheel with blue stripe around the edge. But it's up to you.

It shouldn't be hard to find someone to do them in SD, and if you want your lights blacked out at a really good price send me a message because I know a guy who does really good work, if you want a sample look at my taillights
