You have asked the right question. I got mine done by a guy who does industrial stuff. You just tell him what you want done exactly and he does it. The were silver but I made them gunmetal. Unfortunately in the pics they almost look the same. His company is called:
Professional Powder Coating Ltd.
Narine Mangrue (General Manager)
49 Bertal Road, Toronto, Ontario
M6M 4M5
Tel: 416-766-9081
Fax: 416-766-9788
He charged me $250 for all four but you have to get your tires taken iff and then put on by someone else.
Here's what mine look like before and now:

Rims - BrooksZX3 - 08-20-2004
lol me either, but I'm sure it's just the picture not doing justice as usual. I bet in person its quite noticeable.
Rims - badasszx5 - 08-20-2004

Later....

250 bucks seems like a good deal to me... not really sure tho never looked into it.
and by the way badass, I don't know what wheels are being coated but keep in mind you cannot powder coat wheels that are currently chrome. fyi, just in case - but I'm sure they would have told you that anyway lol.

if you get them sandblasted before hand it well be so much cheaper. if you know any one with a sand blaster.

You guys wanna see my wheels lets meet somewhere and I'll show them to you. they are much darker but are also shinier. The glare from the sun sucks. I'm going to take pics of them now in the garage to show you what they're like.
Rims - MAlby7 - 08-20-2004
here they are but they are still darker:

They look good in gunmetal. B)

That's what I thought also. it's something different other than the everyday silver. For $250 he sandblasted, powdercoated, and put clearcoat on my rims. The finish is pretty damn good. I also had some gouges from curbs and stuff. they are all gone.

Can he repair minor bends? My one wheels is a little bent....
Rims - MAlby7 - 08-20-2004
I'm not 100% sure he can fix bends. You gotta remember that this guy usually does metal railings and industrial stuff. Rims aren't his specialty. The reason he got my gouges out were because they weren't depp at all.

I'm going to take pics of them now in the garage to show you what they're like.Ya those pics are much better, they look good in Gunmetal. Thats like my rims they're what they call Cromium Black but with the sun on them they look crome which I am not too much pleased with. But if put next to actual crome rime you can tell a big difference.
