anyone ever fully powder coat some late model iroc rims? i would like pics thanks

im also interested, no one has completly powder coated some iroc rims? mine are pretty thrashed, would it be better to just have them sand blasted and left bare?

i have some painted ones Base/Clear i'll take a shot if that helps, i know its not Powdered.

that would be nice, i basically need to see what a set looks like that is all one color and not half polished and half bare aluminum.

what color powder coat are we taking about?

There was some 85-87 single line iroc wheels on ebay that had been powdercoated red. I thought they looked like ***, but that was me.

do a search for Iroc on ebay, if they are still there, you will see em.

what a waste

Yep, those are the ones.

Hideous... look like they belong to darth maul from episode I

Would be alot better if those colors were reversed if they had to be that color

those suck im looking for like just a solid gray color.

Yea. an all silver powder coat would be pretty nice.. you have some different choices of silver as well. depending on the effect you want it to have.

Ive never done IROC rims but I have done tons of motorcycle and other rims.

Make sure you put a clear over any silver.

You can see some silver rims in the BG here

Next time I shoot some rims I'll get you some pic's.

Im about to do my ZR1/SS rims in a black chrome this winter.

thanks man!

screw powdercoating.. chrome the bitches!!

I can do that too....lol

Eastwood has a black chrome powdercoat that I think would look pretty sick on some irocs, kind of an anodized look

is it the powdercoat itself?

i still need some pics of some nice powdercoated iroc rims plz.
black would be sick too i believe

here is some pics there horrible tho... my car does not look like that anymore.lol. its droped to the ground. that was about 2years ago.The Rims Are painted black..

more

agian sorry there big and this old.

..

Black Chrome..

sorry No pic's on rims YET

Heh what a coincidence, I recently got my 16" snypers done in black chrome, and my intake done as well, in black chrome, from Columbia coatings.

Its a very weird powder to shoot because it has odd characterstics with edges, you'll notice that on the edges, it's black, and on the flat, its more silver. My car has been down for about a month for some drastic changes, but I'll take some pics of the intake and wheels tomorrow.

Here they are. It's very overcast so keep in mind that in direct sunlight, they aren't this dark. They shine a more silver like in TPI383's picture when sunlight hits them, so it's an interesting color, but it's not for people who don't like dark rims.

Also I havent re-installed the ROH centercap symbols, if anyone can help me in finding where to buy new ones, I'd appreciate it.

Polish the lip of those and I think it would look awesome. This is what I plan to do with my SS rims

Polishing the lip is a very battled over subject I think. I personally dislike the looks of dark rims with polished lips because it breaks the color between the rim and the tire, and it just looks out of place. So no, don't plan on polishing the lips.

Like your tires.. what are they?

Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Drag Tires in 255/50-R16 size on the back. I forgot what the fronts are... bleh.

How much u spend?
Are they Good or worth the money?

They are extremely good for a weekend car, very bad for a daily driver, as they are very soft and not great at all in the rain. They run about $160 a piece.
