Just one rim?
Any size in particular?
Any hub pattern?

Yep just one
Doesn't matter what hub etc
Going to do an experiment with it.
Not interested in steel rims.

G'day Danik,

Are these black or some other colour?

If they're not black, I might be interested in taking them off your hands.

cheers,

Hey bj,

i bought them gunmetal, then powder coated them satin black...probably no good for you i spose?

Yer probably not although I've been wondering whether getting the rims I want and having them silvered (however that might be done) is an option?

How has the powder coating kept up?

cheers,

bj

yeah cool, no probs.

to be honest, i went for a cheap powder coating place and i guess thats because, well, theyre relatively cheap rims...and im cheap too...hehe

BUT...as warned by many a forum member - pay for quality first time round and youll be better off in the long run. if i was to coat the rims again id use the same guy that majority of forum members use or pay more for a better quality job at a high end place. but, initially i didnt really know much (slightly new to the car enthusiasts scene) and i was happy with the result...but now i got a new set of the same rims in factory flat black - waaay better on close inspection.
its not like the paint will ever peel or anything, its more an issue with thickness which has caused difficulty tightening the bolts etc - not a problem i like having - but in terms of heat etc- no dramas.

however, I will try, in future to avoid after market painting, particularly on the most expensive rims. not sure if i ended up answering ur question!

Yer I think you did, thanks, Danik.

Or, more to the point, confirmed what I was thinking - get the colour you want from the factory.

Thanks for your input - and apologies for hijacking the thread.

cheers,

bj
