fixing wheels.

[sean8989]

i have curb rashes on two of my wheels. i was thinking of powder coating all of chroming the lip of the wheels.

where can i get this done? and how much am i looking at here?

[allen@simplytire]

Sean, chroming is a very difficult thing and can't be done on a lip just like that... to get them powder coated, they have to be stripped and sanded... this could very expensive too... roughly $100-150 per wheel.

You are better off just fixing the 2 wheels.....

[sean8989]

that sucks lol.

allright thanks

hmm... im very interested but, do you honestly think I can do it?

I fear ending up with a wheel in worse condition.

Ill have to find out the color of my wheel as well.

[Fobia]

Wait what kind of wheels do you have ?? are they OEM? no OEM's have lip??

[sean8989]

lol im running konigs.
i bought them they look nice except for the centercap...
i got a deal on them for 700 with 3 week old toyo proxes 4 on them so, had to take them. i like them, ill have pictures up when i get lowered later this month. I had the wheels for 2-3 weeks now but i'm to embarased to show my 4x4. i don't even have sport suspension =P

Oh yeah, since im attending PSU in the fall, for all the eastcoast AZ's, I have a question....

Whats with the winter and summer wheels? im in California so i use one set of wheels and all season tires. What should i prepare for?

[Mad_Game]

LA to PSU? lol. kinda random

[sean8989]

hahaha yeah.
i got to leave LA before i fuck up more.
im leaving to start new life, hopefully stay in eastcoast i dont know. Or. Come back when im like 25 lol.

Plus Psu is a really good business school.
I can adjust to a new environment quick.. i think
