stock rims painted?

[carboncrazytc]

i was curious how much it usually costs to get the stock rims painted???

They need to be powder coated. It all depends on the labor for stripping/painting them. The powder doe not cost that much. I would say about $100 each for a high quality job.

not bad i was thinking about getting some 18's but the stock rims are pretty nice.

i planned on doin the same thing .. me and my boy were goin to sand them with 400 and 600 grit then buy sum dupli-color graphite and paint mine .. but i decided to buy new ones instead.

Whats cheaper getting new wheels?
or painting ur rims?

[navylife59]

It all depends on what wheels you are looking at purchasing and if you are getting the rims professionally painted or powder coated. You could even get them polished then anodized.

i needed new tires BADLY from all the chirping and pealing out i do wen switching gears lol .. so i ordered some FALKEN tires and a set of VOLK rims all black with a 1 inch crome lip .. they already come aligned and balanced plus a life-time waranty so i can just take off my stokies and throw these on with gettin an alignment .. also if i was to get a flat i send it back and i get a new tire

Oh and also what are some good tires?

Cheap tire won't last neither will soft compound tires. Their is a wear rating on all tires that you need to look at. Too soft and they dont last long. Too hard and they dont grip well. There has to be a trade off. Try tirerack.com

Painting rims has everything to do with who is quoting you. A powder coat shop is your best bet. They can get the job done right.
