well this is powdercoating...U can paint them yourself i guess or have a body shop do it..but powdercoating would be the best way to do it.

We can powder coat them gunmetal for you for $40/wheel or $160 for all four. And as previously suggested, don't just paint them... powder coating will stand up much better in the long run.

Drop me an email at sales@smpolishing.com for more info.

Like they said powdercoating will hold up better, but if you are on a budget, paint them. I painted my 17s back in the day with regular black spray paint, then cleared them. They lasted for about a year and a half before I had to touch them up.
