powder coat OEM vs. new rims

[s8taxatty]

Hey all.

My 2006 Chrysler Chrome rims are pitted and look awful. I'd like to switch to black rims. It is cheaper to have the OEM stripped and powder coated or just buy new rims. I'm in Maryland so shipping could get pricey.

Thanks

I had my OEM wheels powdercoated semi-gloss black for $200 at a local powdercoater. Came out great, cant see the curb rash anymore.

Our OEM rims are a nicer wheel then replicas. OEM are forged versus cast on after market. That being said I would spend the money to have your OE powder coated just my 2 cents

had mine powder coated gloss black cost 300 bucks when i was in tx and loved them ever since just depends on your local places though as to what it will cost up here in NY i was quoted 200 a rim while i was in tx guy did all 4 for 300 bucks so might be worth making some calls
