here you go ...

a place to fix / powder-coat.... and its about 50-70 bucks a rim .... due to the fact they have to bake it...

powder-coating stock's isnt worth it.. in my opinion... its a 15x5... ussualy you'd want a 15x6.. but up to you...

good luck

can you explain why you dont wanna do a 15X5 and only would wanna do a 15X6? thanks!

Becuase u can get wider tires with better traction... i believe

but how does that make it not good to powder coat skinnier rims?
does traction relate to powder coating?i dont see if it does but feel free to enlighten me

i think vic is saying you should invest in wider rims if you're going to put so much money into it your rims.

vic do you have hookups for powder coating? my buddy needs his black racing rims done...

well i may be able to get them done for 120 for all 4 rims, not bad at all

well vic if there is anything that im missing feel free to lemme know why its not good to do a 15X5! thanks

1. I take it that your doing this to enhance the appearance of the car... with the $120 you might as well just save and get something else.

2. Why 15x6?? cause not many performance tires do a 15x5 all you'll get are mid-range tires that will do nothing for your cars handling.

3. i never said that thers a relation btw powdercoating and sucnh and such..... my point simply was ---u'll be putting $120 and u really wont get your money's worth---

and you'll also see that I wrote " Its my OPINION"...

but if you wanna do it...... all the best to you buddy

i was wondering if its a performance thing or not, or what exactly the problem was with a 15X5. thought maybe it was impossible or sthg. thanks anyways

nothing wrong with powdercoating a 15x5 heck its possible to do the 13x4's ....

yeah, he was just asking cause he didn't know, chill out a little . I think gunmetal would look sick, especailly for a college kid like me who cant afford to spend a grand on rims.....***
