Can anyone recommend a quality wheel repair specialist in the area? I think I'm going to have my OEMs powdercoated (haven't decided on a color... Maybe gunmetal or bronz-ish) but I definitely need to have 2 of the wheels repaired first. Who has recommendations?

Also, feel free to chime in with wheel color selections for my car (Nordic Green and completely OEM - thought I am considering the OEM lip and RB side skirts. I have to have the hood and front bumper repainted anyway... I might as well upgrade, right?)

 

crap, i had one of my Advans repaired by a guy in Bellevue but i cannot remember the name of the place... I'll think about it.. The price was reasonable and he did a phenomenal job. You can't even tell it was repaired.

 

I'm 99% sure it was this guy

I highly recommend him.

 

Has anybody tried to powder coat the stock wheels? Im just wondering how much does it cost and where to do it

 

there's a place called metal magic on south tacoma way that fixed my curbed rims perfectly about 150 each

 

i used dependable wheel repair in renton. they were good too.

 

Any word on the powder coating?

 

No, I decided to buy a couple of extra wheels from a local guy... I've fixed one up and I'm in the process of doing another. If I can get them all looking good, I'll put tires on them as they are... If not, I'll get them PC'd when I get to Pittsburgh. I'm still not sure what color, though... I'm leaning towards slightly lighter than OEM.

 

Thanks for the reply. Lighter than OEM actually sounds really cool. If you get it done post some pics.

 

yeah pics!

 

For OE wheels I like the finish on the Shinka wheels
