Painting my stock wheels???
I have a set of T/A wheels (5 stars) that I want to paint white does anyone have any suggestions on this process, or pics of these wheels painted white?
Or possibly have them powdercoated?
Oh bye the way these are going on my T/A not the Z!

Find a company to do powder coating and have them do your wheels. They'll charge you $100 a wheel but the white finish will hold up a lot better then paint will. You'll have to find someone to take your tires off and make sure you plan on not having your car for a couple days.

Jeff, around here in IL, its 75 a wheel or 300 out the door at Loko. I had mine done their and its awesome. if you get them powdercoated, go there.
Unless you plan to spend 20 on white spray paint

yes, if you get them powdercoated, the tires have to be taken off first.

Duplicolor wheel paint and Duplicolor high heat ceramic based clear coat took about an hour and a half painting time just make sure the wheels are extremly clean before you shoot them
BTW the paint on those wheels is a year old now
IMO powdercoating stock wheels is a waste of money
