Default Looking for black wheels help!

Hey, I wanted to get my factory 20 in wheels powercoated and the guy called and said 600 for all 4 wheels. I just think that is way over priced. I could be wrong but i dont have that kind of money. Are they any cheap black 20in wheels i can put on that are cheap. i just want my ram to be black and stuff.

hey, i just want my ram to be black and stuff...... 600 bucks is the cheapest you are going to get . new 20's black and the labor to swap and re-balance tires your looking at 1k at the least. and to boot the cheaper black 20's look like dogg $hit IMO . you ever hear the ol expresion you get what you pay for ??? well cheap rims are cheap a 600 dollar powder job is a good deal. my 2 cents

Yea if you get cheapy's your gonna wish you hadn't and in the end you'll end up paying more to get all new rims instead of just forkin over the money for powdercoat, and the powdercoat will hold up better than painted wheels anyway imo. So I have to agree with ramhunter on this one.

like i told you earlier. just paint them your self. use teach's DIY write up. it will come out fine. or just wait till you have the money to pay $600.
