DON'T paint them. They will eventually chip or something in the long run. Then you'll just have to do it again.

Take them to a powdercoating shop. They should have done wheels before and will have no problem. Just call them for a quote.

It can range between $50-$100 a wheel depending on size of the rim and the individual shop rates. Remember though, you get what you pay for so don't always go with the cheapest.

Good luck, Later...

I got my 17's sandblasted and powdercoated for $160. Took 2 days(everywhere else I called wanted a week a least) cause I got them to rush it for me cause I had a show I had to leave for the day after I got them back. Satin Black, I think you can see them in my sig pic

Mine are painted, cost me like $10 in paint and one afternoon. If they chip, takes about 10 seconds to touch it up. emoji
