What color should I powdercoat the new 10 spokes?

Look good.

I like 'em. Was it any cheaper to powder-coat them then it would've been to buy aftermarket rims, already done that color?

That looks great but what did they do to the center caps? To my knowledge to bake the power on it has to be in the oven for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. I would think those caps would melt.

BTW who powercoated them for you?

I painted the center caps at work. But Silverghost on LS1tech does have the knowledge and equipment to powder coat plastic.

I had superior powdercoating in Fenton do them. As for the quality it was pretty nice but in 2 spots they put it on a bit light and you can see some of the silver. Also there is some orange peel but you really have to be looking for it. Would I recommend them? Yes, but only if you are going for quick and cheap and decent quality. It was 100 bucks to coat all 4. Which was by far the cheapest I have been quoted. I like them, besides I live on a dirt road. If I was going for show I would of painted them since paint can be laid out flawless, but it isn't durable.

Not sure, I have $250 in them total, thats the rims and the coating. I did the blasting myself.

• People got tired of that and either got rid of the avatar or adopted their own unique haters gonna hate avatar.

It was something that came of the Nitrous thread with 4 million posts.

Thanks for clearing that up Joel!

Even though you don't like the black deep down inside (you rather see charcoal/gunmetal) Thanks!

Looks good. Can't wait to see them mounted. Still think the red lip would be tits though.

[mcalus]

I have some red pinstriping i might do a small strip around the lip and see how i like it.

Looks a lot better then I thought it would! Man Joels old parts sure get around dont they? This was the second set of ten spokes he had and now he just sold his third set to Nick!

I was thinking of putting a white lip on mine to break up the black some.

I thought so. Thanks!

Have to find out where I can find some. Any idea how well it would stick to the wheels?

No different than paint, should stick fine. Use some wax ans grease remover on the lip though.

Autozone has it for just under $4. I think I'm going to get some, not like I'd be out of much money. Thanks for idea of using pin striping!
