It was $500 for all 4 wheels.

When I went I thought I would have either flat black or glossy black to choose from.....they had 24 shades of black!.......guess better to have more choices than not?!>...they also do the low-bake process since for alloy, it is not recommended to bake at 400=plus during the curing process....they do 260 and guarantee that wheels will not crack/break/peel and also does not weaken the integrity of the wheel......the 18's however are not forged...I think the 19's are....

Great info!...I've been trying to figure out where to get stuff powdercoated in case I need it in the future.

Car looks hot! Black grills would look good on the car.

Looking nice. The rims look good on black

you can get the M/power frames from Germany on ebay, takes about 4 days to get here ,,if you search for european german plates....the plates themselves I got at http://www.autoplates.com/store/cust...uroplates.html
you can view as you build the plate and you can make it white/yellow/black and any letter coloring you want...I decided to make it black back-ground with black letters...Excellent quality plates from these people..

I have to say those wheels look way better in that color.

Some more pics,,,before and after powdercoat......problem now is I don't know how dirty the wheels are!.....guess I'll get some white gloves...also I'm noticing now...the car was way more glossy/shiny back then about 3 months ago?....I've put about 4K on it already......is it time for a re-wax/polish and if so any recommendations to bring back the luster?

Rims look great. Really tempted to try this with my 19's when I get tired of them.
