is it possible....

hey bonehead!

my wheels are silver with a lip,.. is it possible to powdercoat only the spokes and leave the lip silver?

and cost?

[boneheadperformance]

As long as the lip does not have a clear topcoat, yes I can do it. Depends on color also. Chrome and chrome smoke require 2 stages of heat- one for the base coat and one for clear. This will have an effect on the polished lip and the tint it may turn due to heat. Cost depends on size of wheel and how easy it is to tape the lip off. Your best bet is to bring one down to the shop so I can see it. I can give a better idea of cost once I see the wheel.

without seeing the wheel, what would you estimate the very lowest possibility to be?

the wheels were so cheap its probably not even worth it..

[boneheadperformance]

What size are the wheels and what color did you want?

haha i WISH my factory rims had a lip

..sorry as for color, i was thinking a gloss black maybe, definately something dark

smoger i cant remember what your rims look like...but it sounds like a hot idea

[boneheadperformance]

17" wheels are $65 each for a single color such as black. If you want the lip to stay polished there is a 50% charge per wheel because it is very involved. The lip must be taped off prior to blasting the wheel and then again with high temp tape prior to coating the wheel. This uses a lot of material and time. Total cost for wheels in black w/o the lip staying polished is $280. Total with the polished lip staying is $420.

sounds like a fair price, but as i suspected it rivals the price i actually paid for these wheels,.. considering the blemishes the wheels already have, i guess id be better off looking for a new set
