Powder Coating RS Wheels
I know there are a lot of threads out there about this, but if anyone has been through this process I could use some advice.
I'm looking to get my RS wheels powder coated semi-gloss black. I've received quotes all over the map from various vendors, but only a few of them offer the service of mounting and balancing. Another problem is that I can't afford to be without my car for long. I have about 4 days I can give up next month but other than that, I commute to work on a daily basis during the week. Anyone know of a quality vendor in ARIZONA who can get this done for a reasonable price? Thanks.

Im from texas and theres a very well known powdercoating place that says 250 for gloss black for all 4 wheels ready in 2 days. I just used plasti-dip to make them matte black for now. Just trying to give you a price around that area if it helps and hopefully people will respond to this post.

you could always do what i did, pickup an extra set of wheels in the forum and run those while you're having yours powder coated then turn around and sell the extra set afterward. I actually came out $100 bucks to the good because I got such a good deal online by a fellow member on his 2011 RS wheels (sold my nonRS wheels after the powdercoat for $100 more than I paid for the ones I had powdercoated)

He's missing out on business because most people can't afford to be without a car for more than a day or two!

I got a terrible quote from the dealer of $800, but I'm tempted to spend the extra money for the warranty and level of quality.
That price includes powder coating the wheels and caps, balancing, mounting, and replenishing the tires with nitrogen. Should I even consider this or will I have the word "SUCKER" tattooed on my forehead? Also, anyone running Gorilla black lug nuts? I was curious whether these chip/scratch when torqued.

Does anyone have the black lug nuts from Gorilla? Do they scratch at all?

Sounds pretty high but I don't buy into dealer's nitrogen hype. Check your local Costco Tire Center if you want nitrogen, see what they'll do for you... |
