Just wondering if anyone had their rims powder coated.I found a place locally in Harrington De that will only do one color on the whole rim for $150.00 ea ques is how do they hold up and clean up so far

Yup powdered for about a year and half, holding up very well in fact the rear is mint, although to be expected the front has taken a couple of rocks and chipped slightly, but easy to touch up........

I've also had mine done for about a year. I would have the powdercoater tape off the thin protrusion on the extreme outer edge of the bead surface so you won't have to touch up so much from tire changes. Good luck and post pictures.

Mine powder coated yellow about 14 months ago - no chips, and they clean with a wipe.

Had my stock wheels painted candy red/yellow with polished rims a couple of years ago.
This winter my C/Fs are going to the painters, need more bling.
