Think outside the box....new rim ideas.
I will start this by saying I am not trying to advertise.....I don't do mail order and only do local jobs!
Here are some rims we have done for people that were not happy with "stock" rim coating designs. Some of these are stock rims some are after market but a little thinking can result in a dramatic appearance change on the rim. Any good custom powder coater in your local area should be able to do this for you (ask for samples of his work first)....if you want to break out of the same old same old box, here is a good way to do it.
Here is a LG rim done with a Satin center, Gloss lip and body color red stripe......

Re: Think outside the box ideas.
Love the satin black. Ive done alot of motorcycle rims/frames satin.TONS of BIKE BLACK too.
I love those welds. Im looking for a set of 17inch XP PRO STARS for my vert and might have to do em 2 tone black like that to match the black/white paint job the car is getting.

Re: Think outside the box ideas.
Thanks TPI, ya I think they would look killer with that paint job....or even white/black on them would look cool also.
Here is what those went on....lol they were pretty rough when we got them to do cause they had been on this for awhile.

Re: Think outside the box ideas.
That process is pretty labor intensive because of the polishing that needs to be done during the process.....I will PM you what my price in this area would be, but powder prices do vary alot in different areas so my price may be a mute point.
