I was infront of RX7 Rage while we were both driving the FD's and when he got on it, all I heard were his turbos. I looked around to make sure no 747s were landing because that is what it sounded like

Graphite Grey Powder Coated FD Wheel Pics
I just got my FD wheels back from the powder coater, and they look amazing!
I bead blasted them, and had the dust blown off. They were then pre-heated in the oven at 475 for 10 minutes, brought out one at a time and covered in the Graphite Grey color, put back in the oven for 20 minutes at 475, brought out, and immediately shot with the clear gloss coat.
The pictures do not do them justice, but here is a link to the photo album:

If anyone can grab the pics from the album and host them, I'd appreciate it!
They will be fitted with Kumho Victo Racers for track events tomorrow, and I'll get some pics of them on the car ASAP.
Thanks to Batman and every one else here on the forum that was helpful as I went through this process.

Man, those look really, really nice!
I've just been thinking about doing the same thing, so don't be surprised (or offended
) if you see an FD in Austin with the same color. They look really good.
Okay, so who did 'em?

Man, *fantastic* site fellas. I stopped by here to stop browsing over there for a moment. Just wanted to give you props...and say that you're the best thing I've seen coming out of San Marcos since I met my wife (Oh, and the unemployed former football coach at SWT).
Did hard time there...5 years.

I just got a price break down for the services I had done, so here are the details.
$25.00/wheel for bead blasting and cleaning
$35 - $45/wheel for the powder coating, depending on the powder you select, and if you want a clear coat (mine were clear coated)
Also, if you want a powder color that they don't stock (pretty unlikely), you will have to buy the powder.
So, figure a total of $60 - $70 per wheel.
I had my Kumho Victo Racers mounted and balanced this morning, and will take some pics of my car with these wheels installed at the track event I'm attending on Saturday the 30th.
