Question Wheel repainting???

Hi, I was wondering if any of you dabbled in repainting your OE wheels or any wheels for that matter. I bought some 17's a while ago and wanted to use the OE wheels for rallycross with some wintermaster snow tires to double as winter rubber as well. To add a little more pizzaz I wanted to paint them gold or yellow. As my Tarmacs are gold and I really like that color much better. I know VHT makes a gold wheel paint, but that's pretty much all I've found and I don't know how it would hold up. I'm open too getting it done professionally as well, but it seems so expensive. I appreciate any and all info. Thanx guys.

I'll check locally, but about how much would that cost do you think?

Thanx,

i think powder coating runs $80 to $100 per wheel


the best and most inexpensive way to go since you will not be using these all the time is to just spray paint them. i know duplicolor makes some paint that holds up over time, i know it sounds like crap but i have seen it done a few times and comes out very well. and for less than 10 bucks you can't beat it
