Has anyone tried bead blasting and polishing the wheels? How shiny can they get?

 

Powder coating is superior to any paint and you can obtain just about any color. The Cincy RX7 Club as a member who's company manufacturer's powder coating machines and offers us great deal. If you can get a price at $50.00 per rim (does not include bead blasting), go for it. Don't have a price for blasting, but I did mine in my factory's shop and it took 15 mins per wheel. So assume 1 hour at an average shop rate of $70.00 per hour.
