    powder coated wheels - satin black

    I just got my wheels back that I had powder coated in a satin black finish. I think they turned out great and I will post some more pictures once I get them mounted on the car. I purchased a used set of the five-arm double-spoke aluminum wheels for summer so I could keep my stock titanium finish wheels mounted with the winter rubber.

    Thanks.

    A place out in Yorkville, IL called Performance Powder Coating. They have been around over 25 years and know what they are doing for sure.

    Thanks Colin. It cost $90 per wheel which seems to be the going rate since I had checked around with several shops and they were all in the that range.

    Temps in Chicago this week have been in the 20s so I decided to leave the winter tires on the car until next week.
