Rims for the frugal

Please don't make your wheels look like crap! take the time to save your money and get them done right you'll be much happier with the results and so will the rest of us.

As for the calipers...don't even think about painting those yourself either.

BTW...if powder-coating your wheels is a bit of a stretch for you ($75/wheel max) where you are forced to look into alternatives, don't you think you need to realign your priorities?

I havn't done alot of research into it, but I was under the assumption it would be around 600. I didn't say it was a stretch, just that currently I don't have 600 spare to spend on rims, my priorities are quite well aligned thank you. I asked for opinions on wether it could be done to look decent, not for you to balance my check book.

for reference, I charge 100 per wheel, and I am on the higher side, but my quality speaks for itself, and I don't apologize for my pricing.
