S5 TII Wheels Powdercoated
Does anyone have pix of the Series 5 TII wheels (spiderwebs) powdercoated/painted? I'm curious to see how they look in black or any color for that matter.
Thanks all,
Brian

rotary racer, I might get mine powder-coated after seeing yours. I didn't think it would look good on a white car, but I was wrong. How much does something like that cost, and is there any way to make the center caps match?

Depends on the shop that does it mine was $40 a wheel if I remember correctly. Yep cleaning them is hard some times. You can pain the center caps but most of the time it does not match and looks fake just leave them off that is what Kevin and I did.

Yo,

Pretty good shots of our cars and wheels. I just learned that I can clean the powdercoat with McQuiers Instant wheel cleaner...they're pretty easy to keep clean now.
Oh, and I have access to a steam pressure washer. *grin*
Let me know if you have any specific questions, or need a good side shot of my car w/rims.

So, I have an S5 TII with the stock wheels. The finish on them looks worn. What do you guys think my best option is as far as price and looks? The car has a new factory white paint job. I am considering having them refinished, painted, powdercoated? I don't know how much any of this is...
On a separate note, why is a powdercoating harder to clean than anything else?

Yo,
I am what I eat. *wink*
With the stock wheel color you don't notice the brake dust...but when they're white you'll see the dust in all the nooks and crannies.
Luckily with the Instant Wheel cleaner and the steam cleaner...it's not as horrible as it was.
