      Too narrow unless they are street wheels.

        Very hard to find 9" and 9.5" wheels with the right offset.

                A cheaper option for the street.







                Just paint the stock wheels.


                Did someone mention that powder coating wheels was a bad idea?

                  Looks good. I would like to have my black wheels redone since they have some rock chips. A polished lip would be nice too.

                    Re-powder coating aluminum wheels is a bad idea. They tend to fail rather spectacularly.

                      Yep, it has to do with the way the aluminum is heated and cooled during the powder coating process. Done wrong it makes the wheel very brital and easly breaks under load. I believe there are some wheel-specific powder coaters who know what they are doing but 90% of the others don't.

                      I'd recommend just getting them painted.

                        Wait, if you're talking about STREET Wheels, then I think the dozen or so designs from ROTA are the way to go.

                        Black centers and polished lips in a variety of styles.... (just the way I like my w.....wheels)
