Default New Level, Powdercoated Rims...Pics

Okay, well I got my rims back. I went with the Satin gloss, and like it quite a bit. The full gloss coat gets dull after a short time according to the place, and the satin SUPPOSEDLY doesn't. A few pics of them, and my new 2" level. Its still got a lot of stuff that needs to be done, but just another step.

FYI, before people ask, I traded my chrome rims for aluminum ones, it was 40 bucks a rim, you cant put the weights on the lip, and its a daystar lift, 70 bucks. hopefully that answers a few questions before they are asked.

well there's quite a few powdercoaters around here....i had bids at 200/rim and one at 25/rim...but I have had stuff done there before and stuck with them...

And Aiden, it only took one day...so if you could get an off day or someone else's car for one day it wouldn't be a big deal

$25 a rim is the cheapest I ever heard. That is a killer price.
