Powder Coated the Wheels

Unfortunately, a couple of my wheels were scratched about a year ago and I couldn't take it anymore so instead of buying a new set I decided to get the stock 18's powder coated. I picked them up Saturday and I'm very satisfied with how they turned out. The guy did a great job and for less than half the price...my wheels look new. They were painted the same color as the truck and the lug nuts black.

Feel free to post some pictures if you guys have anything powder coated on your rigs.

Those look great. It's a pretty close match to the exterior.

Thanks! While the truck was on stands I took some time to clean and spray a layer of paint on the undercarriage. I can't stand how quickly these new vehicles rust under there.

Forgot to post a close-up:

Looks better than the original finish imo. ....almost looks like the 20s that come from the factory that are painted

Very nice, what does something like that cost? Maybe while I have my stock 18" chrome clad without tires I can get that done, and use them for winter wheels

The kid who did mine does it on the side and it only cost me $300. That included dismounting/remounting of the tires. His price is hard to beat.

I've seen more prices ranging from $350-$450.
