  • Getting wheels powder coated BLACK CHROME!

    Well guys, here is the deal...

    I have 18" chrome dipped Ultra wheels and my tires kept leaking and blowing out... this even happened with BFgoodrich Comp TA tires.

    Well i took it to discount and the found the problem, the chrome is pealing. THey said it could be anything that caused it and that it is not covered under waranty if i've ever driven it in the snow, rain, or taken it through a car wash. ummm yeah.. total bs. :mad:

    So my choices were to either sell it or find out what it would cost to powder coat it.

    Well i found a place that will powdercoat it chrome black (which is the color i wanted) [img]graemlins/evilgrin.gif[/img]
    here is a sample:

    for only $25.00 a wheel
    now i can sandblast them myself, or they will do it for only $15.00 a wheel. They ship it out to someother place to have it sandblasted, but they don't charge the customer for shipping and handling...So for $160.00 i can get all 4 wheels sandblasted and powdercoated.
    The place is out in Toledo, Ohio. [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img]

      those rims of yours look bad *** in chrome man, i would just get them re-dipped
      also, I would contact the manufacturer and not discount, they dont know ****
      how old are the wheels? they shoulndt be peeling for a loooooong time (since i know how you take care of your car)

        Hey Batman can you post some info on the company or e-mail me some info on them. That looks sweet as hell and my 17's are due for an update, and for 160$, I'm all over it.
