I'm really just curious what it would look like... I've got plenty of other things on the list before I would even start looking to see if someone can powdercoat them...

It might look pretty cool. Something to note though is I don't know for sure if its true, but what I've heard before is that only a forged wheel should be powdercoated because the process makes a cast wheel more brittle. Just throwin that out there. Even if that is the case though I'm sure it could be done with paint

Didn't know that...Thanks for the info. My b/f had his TTII's powdercoated black, that's why I was thinking powdercoat...

IDK, I was just wondering what it looks like, if I can't pc it I'm sure paint would work like nighthawk mentioned.

I was bored and just wondering what it would look like...Hope someone will chop it for me...

She wants the inside of the spokes to be purple, like the 35th Anniversary wheels that are machined face with black insides.

You guys don't know what LE wheels look like?

Here's a 35th LE SS, she wants the inside of her wheels purple where they are black on the LE wheels...

Yeah no problem, thats my step dad's car so I have a bunch of pics of it. I just got to thinking though and I don't think I have any pictures of the car since he has lowered it, oh well.
