    Hello Guys,

    I know are going to say use the search and I did, this is why I am resorting to a post.

    Trying to refinish my wheels and dont really want use plasti dip, want something more permanent. My searching gave me two options, Wurth German Alloy Silver Wheel Paint and 1z einszett spray wheel paint, however it looks like none of are available. I just want the stock s4 peelers look. Anybody has any other options?
    2011 sprint blue s4, EC subframe stabilizer, ECS short shifter, Euro Impulse weighted shift knob, custom air intake, RS grille, CR-15, 034 rear diff mounts/rear diff carrier mount inserts, Apikol rear diff mount insert, 10mm(f)/12mm(r), ECS strut tower brace, ECS front adjustable end links.

    Take it to a shop to get powder coated.

    Easily the best option imo

    Careful with powder coating wheels. Depending on the exact PC process, metal alloy and what the wheel's design is (thick vs thin spokes) you can affect the heat treat of the metal, weakening it and possibly cause cracking etc.

    Many wheel manufacturers void the warranty on their wheels if aftermarket PC'd. I've seen at least one post on AZ this year with a forum member with an issue from PC.
