As a professional powdercoated who doesn't do wheels, I'm torn at what to tell you. If someone besides me is doing them, then yes, definitely, but wheels are so ethnic I hate to do so I only do them for myself.

What color are you going to do?

tomnavone · 07-06-2010, 06:40 PM

Do it!

DAGRACING · 07-06-2010, 07:45 PM

gloss black since i did my emblems tht color n i will also get whoever powdercoats em to do the door handles to match wheels, thanks for the replies zcar, mike n tom

I did it. I like it. I even added some crazy pinstripe and still like it. Dig back a year ago in the wheels sections and I have more pics.

BTW, if you do the wheels, your door handles will stand out like a sore thumb. The cost on the door handles was more than the wheels.
