I had some wheels powdercoated a while back. NEVER AGAIN! It's just not durable enough and it keeps cracking off where the wheel seats on the hub. I have to constantly re-torque the wheel nuts. I have many stone chips on them now. Very dissapointing...

My mate's dad anodized/acid-dipped his rims and then just painted them.
look brand new and that was 2 years ago now.. and this car does a lot of k's, also on dirt roads sometimes..

Ive had my Superlites powdercoated, and while taping up the outer edge was a right royal pain in the arse, they came up beautifully and are quite durable too.

my mate has 17" lenso's on his gtir, they were powder coated white and they were sweet. but from some of the reports above maybe you shouldnt just be looking for a cheap place/price

If your in the South Eastern direction , go to Charlyn Powercoating , 7 lazer drive rowville , 9763 4166 i think . They have alway done my rims , Harry is a nut when coming to perfection and theres sandblasting available there too , i have had there coatings on lots of different rims before and have never seen a chip even when bending a rim .

Yep, i've had rims pwodercoated too, and will neever do it again - they chip, crack, and are impossible to repair, and still look decent, go for paint instead!
