Rep Power: 326 The arospeed website doesnt have locations that sell their products? If not, thats weird and kinda not too smart since its a really good idea to let people know where your stuff is at.

Rep Power: 0 I got my Arospeed RSGT's through the a internet site. I did not order over the internet but called them instead to order. The site is SpeedandStlye They hooked me up with the 19" rims for the 18"s price. They ship them for free as well and I received them in 5 business days. Very good customer service and very happy with the product. I highly recommend.

Rep Power: 0 Well there is a trick to powder coating and that you need to wet sand and buff it out after you get it coated to give it more of a shiny look. As for me there is a painter that gives me paint that is like powdercoating and it doesnt scratch off or anything once its fully dry it doesnt chip or anything and works real good and he gives it to me in a high gloss finish. I think he has some rubber in the paint thats why it sticks long and doesnt scratch off. im not really sure but it comes out great if you mask it off good and it works fine. I have a few mess ups here and there because the masking tape i used sucked *** and came off. Oh well it looks fine from just looking at it but we all mess up so oh well even the powder coating isnt perfect.

Rep Power: 326 Was that up in Nor Cal?!?!? That sounds like a hella good price to me. I wouldnt mind paying a bill to get my rims professionally done. Does that include the paint or do you have to supply it? And if its like a special kind of paint?

Rep Power: 0 damn 25 a wheel is a good price i only paid 30 bucks total to do my own and as per professional it does the job. Doing it yourself isnt as ghetto as it seems as long as you got the right tools to do the job why not save money. Also alot of people get there rims painted more then powdercoated to match the color of the car because you are limited with the colors that powdercoating does.
