I'm thinking about plasti dipping mine tbh, like everyone else said I don't think it's worth spending $600 to powder coat oems.

I have the same rims! How many coats did you do on them and what kind of dip did you use? They look pretty nice and glossy! I had plasti dip on my previous car but it kept going dull and faded out

P.s. mine have some lovely curb rashes which I may have to sand down, any experience with that?

I understand that you like the style of your wheels but prefer them in black. Have you checked to see if those same wheels are sold with a black finish. Rather than powder coat, have you looked for a used set in black? That may cost you nothing or a minimal amount after you sell your current wheels.

FYI- Powder coating those four wheels in the Philadelphia area would be about $500 and removing, mounting & balancing wouldn't cost more than $100.

I would do 5 coats of plasti dip and 3 coats of glossifier. The brand you get at Walmart. I also have curb rash. The plasti dip covers it up but it peels off easily. The shop is talking to for powder coating said it would be 500-600 for all the services including curb rash. He said 600 would be of the wheels are in awful shape but mine are not so it would probably be 550

I did look but I can only find them in black for the other stock OEM style. And yeah, the new shop in talking to said they will also include fixing the curb rash. 500-600.
