Wheels powdercoated / new tires - Toyota Yaris Forums

33OH · 04-16-2012, 10:37 AM

Took my wheels to a local vendor and had them stripped, primed and powdercoated. I ran them over the winter and the paint just couldn't hold up to the salt anymore. The finish is a little orange peely when the sun shines on it, but for $30 per wheel for everything, I can't complain!

Also handpainted my centercap's logos to be the original black emblem that they once were.

And, got some new tires, 205/40/17 Nankang NS-I's. Loving them so far - quiet, soft ride and does great in the rain.

33OH · 04-16-2012, 11:02 AM

They can only do basic colors - black, white, silver. But yeah I'd be happy to drop them off for you if you can stand not having gold.. :)

the wheels look great but 30$ a piece isnt it too much, iam just asking

i got my old rims replaced with refurbished rims in 7000 PKR 74US$ and now that i have purchased these rims from one shop if i keep going back to him for just color/exchange them with other style ill have to pay 2000 PKR which is 21US$

U can't really compare the labor from the U.S and the rest of the world . Here in the US labor is high ... So $30 /wheel to powdercoat is consider dirt cheap .

Yeah I have been quoted 250-350 for 4 wheels to be powder coated. That is the typical cost for a really legit job.

I thought $150 for a set of 18s was a good price! Nice find!
