Powdercoated Evo VIII wheels

Here is one more for the archives...I had asked about this before and finally got them done!

The curb damage to the wheels were fixed, media-blasted and then powdercoated them metallic gloss black. It came out really well and have to be seen in person to appreciate the quality. It was almost impossible to take pics with the flash - I need some good sunlight and outdoor pics.

Here are some before and after pics:





I used a place locally - they knew how to coat the wheels under low-temp conditions as these Enkei require them. The owner was helpful and they turned it around in 1 week which was impressive.

Anyways, if any needs a good place to get stuff done in Iowa - contact http://www.***-design.com/

They are ready for some tires now! I need some recommendations for slightly wider than stock. I can search, no problem!


Thanks for looking!

Nice looking...If only had an option for 17x9. I am a big fan of the stockers design, especially in black.

I paid to get them fixed, blasted and coated. My damage was very minor caused by the wheel weights, so I got off easy!

that'll be my next mod once I get the money to replace my clutch. I've been wanting to do this for a while now. Looks great..

I dunno - I read in the archives that 255'/40/17 fit, so I am leaning towards them
