Looking good Preston. Does that place only do powdercoating? Been wanting to change up the color on my TEs for awhile, but heard powdercoating could weaken the wheel since they're forged.

not sure to be honest. you'd probably wanna take it to a paint shop if you're not powdercoating them.

$50 each+tax, that's really good price. I need to coat my IM and brembo too. Will give them a call.

I think the place you took them to could do the painting as well based on the information listed on their website.

The wheels came out looking fantastic.
