Sell, Paint, Powder Coat?

[TinyGiant]

I have a set of enkei 17" rims on my yaris right now .. I want to go with black wheels now to complete the straight blue/black look.

The wheels I have now work fine but are like twice as heavy as my stocks (probably not twice ..but they are extremely heavy..comparatively)


so should I...

take them off and ditch them on craigslist and buy a black set

Take them off and paint them a satin black like the rest of the car has for black stuff.

have a friends dad powder coat them at work...


thoughts?

Id get some new wheels bro, go with some lightweight 15s or 16s, you will notice a getup in the diffrence i promise

maybe i'll throw my stocks back on while i decide

[mastaofdisasta]

whats you price range and preferred style of wheel?

Hmm. I would powdercoat them black. And then see how they turn out first. Or easy way have someone photoshop them black and see how they look.

black enkeis

sell them and get new ones. glad you are going with black wheels. best color choice of wheel for your color of car IMHO.

powdercoat > paint

I've tried both and paint just doesn't last!

really open to anything .. just in black

probably looking used 300-400 with rubber (craigslist specials :) )

i know i can sell mine for about that ..

going with a smaller rim wouldnt be bad either.. maybe a fatter tire.. get rid of the horrible ride i have with these on there :)

[TinyGiant]

i wish i could do some tinting here .. doesnt seem worth it to only do the back windows. . i would want them all done if i were to do any.. really complete the black/blue look

[TinyGiant]

well i found a buyer for my rims at $300 so i'm going to do it :)

i had a couple others interested at $350 we'll see who commits first :)

I had a piece of screen printing equipment i didnt need that i am selling for $125 so if i feel like dumping it all into new tires/rims i'll have 425-475 to spend :) which should be good craigslist style :)

i might still hold out for a really good deal so i can pick up a set of those niabodykits eye lids :)
