Powder Coating Rims

Anybody know of or had work done in the area? Need a good source for powder coating in area. I see there is one in Round Lake called Powder Tek, Inc. Adam, know anything about them?

I THINK I have heard of them, but haven't seen any of they're work

I had my winter rims stripped and powder coated by a place called CPC powdercoating in Crest hill which is just north of joliet. Cost was about 70 per wheel depending on the color and texture you have done. There are hundreds of options to choose from.. Very happy with the work and love the way they look.

Good people.

wow. thats a great price. i want to get the summer set for my truck powdered gloss black this winter when i have them off the truck. i will have to give them a call.

Cool, thanks james. Pick 'em up from Adam and then get 'em powder coated. When they're done I'll wing on down to see Jontoad for some Nittos. I'm kinda liking the gun metal black.

I thought I remember there being another post out there about this? maybe the wrong topic.....can't remember.

They look like they do a bang up job on rims over there...I thought about making mine completely black...We'll see how they hold up over the winter!

anthony your rims look awesome just how they are

Thanks Jackie! I love my rims right now too! I'm just saying if winter beats up these rims with the salt and crap then i'm going to consider getting them powder coated...This will be the first winter for these rims so we'll see in due time!

Why dont you put your stock rims back on for the winter?

he sold them, joes brother is sporting them.

heres a better option... he could buy joes winter tires and joe could use the money to get the beater on the road.

saves anthony's wheels and joes car from the winter!

if anyone wants to check out that place, let me know. i want my trucks rims done in black for sure and would love to go check out that shop and get a price quote set in stone so i know what amount of cash ill have to set aside.

haha any one wanna donate to the get anthony some winter rims fund lol...I'll just wait and see how they hold up...Shouldn't be too bad but we'll find out....

Picked up Adams rims today. I took them to a place in Round Lake to get them powder coated. $350.00 Matte Black. Then back to Adams for Nitto's. Think I'll try and find some big 'ole long lugs in nickle and some BT center caps in satin.

did you see the lugs i use with my vipers? gorilla duplex spline tuner lugs 14x1.5 pitch. joe and ghost have them too. perfect lugs for these wheels since the lugs are small diameter and the key is long to keep sockets away from scratching your lug holes. adam should be able to get them for ya.

the ones on the bottom left of this page "sd duplex" they come in black chrome too but i just have the nickle plated ones.

Thanks Jontoad, reps for that. I really like the Nitto Invo tire. What size are you running Jon? I was thinking 255/45zr20 fr and 275/40zr20 rears. I like the Gorillas too, nice! I like the black chrome. What size are the center caps on Vipers? 2' or 2.5"?

i run 275/40/20 on 9inch wheels all around so i can rotate them since i burn the rears out so fast racing. you can up to 275 on the front on a 9inch wheel, and up to 315 on the rear on a 10inch wheel on an SRT if you want.

i might pick up some 10inch wide vipers before next year for the back and run some 315/35/20's nitto nt-05's on the street and save my 9inch rears for autocross.

we put staggered vipers on ghosts ride with nitto invos. since he has an r/t we had to go a little smaller. we went 245/45/20 front and 275/45/20 rear on his car.

as for the center caps i dunno, but i do know factory dodge 18inch daytona wheel center caps fit. the ones from the machined wheels not the chrome clad's. i still need to pick up a set of those.

i do know the BT custom center caps don't fit. i had some gunmetal ones i got cheap and they didn't fit.

Good idea

Nah, I'm not spending any more money on my car right now....It took priority for a while but now I'm more concerned about moving out of my house. IF my rims get fucked up this winter (which i don't think they will) I'll just refinish them come next year...

I DO have the center caps I showed you, they are pretty messed up, BUT... I KNOW there's a place that sells center cap decals that have like a gelcoat on them. I bought some for my Neon I was driving before my Charger, but I can't find them ANYWHERE, maybe I'm just using the wrong search or something. They held up pretty nice though, they have a blue Mopar "M" on them. Just another option......

I found these, these are pretty cool, they kinda go with you're hood emblem...

Doesn't BT make center caps that will fit the Factory Repro wheels as well?

they say they do but they didn't fit mine for shit. not only that but you have to un-screw 3 ghetto washers and screws every time you want to take them off. plus those screws are into billet aluminum so you know they will strip out after tightening them up like 4 times.
