Hey guys, I just bought a set of JDM 17" wheels for my FD and I still have the stockers.
I am thinking of having one of the two sets powder coated a different color.
I did a search and came up with a couple threads, but what I couldn't find was any RED FD's with diff. colored powder coated stock rims.
Any pics you guys might have would be helpful and much apperciated, and/or any suggestions(i.e. color,method. . .) too!
Thanks guys

I have some stock FD wheels that I powder coated Gun Metal for use with track tires. Here are a few links to some pictures of the wheels on and off the car:

I'd highly reccomend powder coating, as it looks great, and is REALLY durable.

Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions

Hey VR Touring Thanks for the pics your those wheels look great on your car. How much did the powder coating cost you if you don't mind me asking?
Anyone else w/ powder coated wheel pics post them up!
Thanks Justus

I got the "buddy" deal on my wheels, (free) since my Father-in-law is good friends with the owner of the shop that did the powder coating, but he estimates about $50-$60 per wheel. I had my wheels sand blasted down to the bare aluminum, powder coated, baked, and then powder coated with a clear gloss, and then baked again.

I would definitely have them sand blasted, but the clear gloss coat is probably not necessary. But they sure do shine, and have a real deep gloss to them after the clear!
