Best Place to Get Rims Repainted

[sick2002GAGT]

Well I finally got rims today, i got from a member here, and they beat to hell. One of them looks like it was in a accident. Iam more than a little angry about this but ive been waiting for them for so long that i might as well get them redone.

So my question is where whould be the best place to get them done at, a dealership or some place that specializes in such things.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.:D

id be using that trader rating thing then if it was from a member here.
not sure which would be the best answer, but i would think a custom place might be the better way to go. (i would think atleast)

The dealer I work for does buisness with Chicago Wheel Service, they can do amazing things with damaged rims. GOnna send my 17's to them to get powdercoated black. Im sure there is a place like that near you.

Agree,lean more towards Powdercoating,much more stronger and durable then paint,thicker too. Around here its about 50 bucks per rim,most places will have a bunch of different colors to choose. Can use normal paint that any shop could do but its going to be just like normal wheel finishes,they will chip real easily if rocks or salt(mostly in winter) hit/get on them

I was thinking about Powdercoating them. but i was wondering if that will add any extra weight to the wheels? these things already weigh 50lbs a piece.

I found a place around my area that will do them for 30 a piece with the colors they carry, but they only have black, white, and a really crappy gray. But i can order any color i want.

So what color do you guys think i should get?

heres what my rims look like(well not really, in real life there more beat up)
