i want to...

try to restore the beauty of my rims. I have a set of P1's and the paint on them is looking less attractive. I've tried the usual remedies(e.g. wash, wax, clay, wax again, buff) but it's not as well as I would like it to be. Is there anyplace I could have them re-clear coated, if it is a coat; or I might as well just powder-coat them.

thanks for the advice brent, now to look for a place.?.

makala powder coat does wheels for $40 a piece, mine came out nice. give them a call and see what they can do for you.

Holy crap....$40 a rim...?

I thought it was like $75 a rim...maybe for certain colors or something?

I assume you have to take off your tires for the process but if it is that cheap I will put my car on jackstands for a week and drive a different car.
