I just got mine done at Spec Wheels. They are in Commerce Shitty. Phone is 303-853-9978. Ask for Marco. Took about a week.

50$ a wheel for my shop, we do a good job on the stuff. We would've done floored4door's but my boss didn't want to charge him an assload of money for a cleared lip.

We're in Longmont, (303)776-7560, ask for Shane, tell him Robbie referred you.

well I was wanting to paint these wheels gunmetal and polish the lip. I could do the polishing myself if it would cost too much.

I also had mine done at Spec, A+++++++ they look damn good! Just make sure you get them clear coated or you will be sorry!

I think we could do them if you polish the lip yourself. BTW, our price includes a clear. Talk to my boss tomorrow, and he can confirm.

They sandblast the whole rim to bare metal, then powdercoat the whole rim, then remachine the lip and clearcoat. Lifetime warrenty on the workmanship. Bout a hundred a rim. Mine were silver and I had them redo them gunmetal. Let me know what you think....

floored4door, car looks pimp buddy. Worth the extra 4 bills to have it gunmetal. :)

Yep, Spec does depending on how messed up it is. He said some they can't fix but some they can. I have a bent ass rim that I need to take to them to see if they can straighten it. Call and ask for Marco. 303-853-9978

I just noticed that you are in Colorado Springs. You can go to Discount Tire down there and they will ship it to them because that is who they use. Well at least up here they do. I might be wrong. Anyhow if you are in the area Spec is good. They are located in Commerce City. :bounce:

Applied Plastics, Wheatridge. 303-424-9200. Ask for Biff. $40 per wheel including sandblasting and prep.

Also try Powdercoating Specialties in Golden - ask for Jack. 303-278-0406. Similar pricing.

And probably had enough left to huff a little to convince yourself it's going to be anywhere as durable as powder! Asshat.
