Hopefully it wont take that long for me. My buddys a good friend but two weeks taking up his rack; I may be better off just putting my girl on jack stands in the garage for that time until they're done!

I painted my OEM wheels from silver to powdercoat black (my car is black), the result was great. I was recommended to go with a semi gloss finish (not full gloss). The final result was great!

did you media blast the rims then reshoot the gunmetal grey. I don't know much about powder coating - but does it adhere well to the painted rims?

+1 those look fantastic! What paint code did you use and did you blast the wheels before painting?

You can get them powdercoated at Broken Arrow Powder Coating. I called them about doing mine. They are $75 a wheel for the 20" rims. They will sand blast them and then coat them the color you want.
