04SSAWD Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I really like the style of the SSS wheel but I'm not a huge fan of the painted look. I was thinking about having them powdercoated black...Anyone have any pics of how that might look? I could get them chromed for about $60/piece.

kaotik1 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 If you can get chrome, providing that its not powdercoating chrome, I would say go that route. 20's are roughly 90 dollars per wheel in say black. That is not a trick color as a trans or candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04SSAWD Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I'm not a big fan of chrome, and its actually chrome dipped or however they do it. I can get them powdercoated black here for 45/wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaotik1 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 45 dollars a wheel is cheap. Does that include prep work? Good deal man go for it, if it includes the bake off, sandblasting, tapework, and color then you should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trying to decide if I want them black or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KissMySilvSS Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 K, Can the wheels be coated black, leaving the small lip on the stock wheels chrome?? I always thought that might look cool!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wody Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 my buddy was quoted 50 bucks a wheel. i thought that was a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaotik1 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hte best way to have that done is to have the wheel coated, then have the lip machined to a polished finish. The tape line will not be as clean as the machine cut edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tape line will not be as clean as the machine cut edge. i plan on powdering my wheels black with a polished lip and paint the centers black leaving the chrome center i just have to decide which tires to pu on there are not to many choices my buddy owns Action PowderCoating in Farmingdale NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
