The owner's son is on the nissan 240 board and he does all the automotive powder coating. So far he has done my wheels and TurboEight's gramlights, both of us are really impressed. The prices on the website are for sandblasting AND coating

Here is a picture of my car. I had the wheels coated last year and so far there has been no chipping or "spider-webbing." However, the clear coat is beginning to fade in certain spots but I was warned of this prior to coating.

75$ per wheel is cheap!

I get it for 70$ a wheel + 25$ per wheel for sandblasting.

It used to be A LOT cheaper too, but he had to raise the prices this year.

Wow... that's some pretty impressive pricing on powdercoating.

I'd go for bronze just to give it that contrast.

Although, black wouldn't look bad. To each his own

here is what Matt Gunmetal RX-8 wheels on Ti-Gray Sedan....
even though it's not a 3, but it's still Ti-Gray body colour

i would say hypersilver or black....

i do not like the gunmetal rims on the titanium body....i think either you want to have something very close to the body colour to look uniform or opposite to contrast...i think the gunmetal on titanium is not close enough to body colour but not contrasting enough to stand out

you got RX-8 rims - i think you want people to notice...

just MO
