Is anyone else thinking of attempting to have this done? I went with Pepper White as my exterior color, so I'm thinking some black of hyper black powdercoated wheels would look pretty sweet. Anyone know what this sort of thing costs and how long it takes? Just thinking out loud

 

nope i am using them for my winter rims you should be able to get it done a couple hundred a wheel isnt out of line.

 

$200/wheel seems pretty steep....I could probably buy a new set of rims for that much

 

A friend had his S lites powder coated black here in town. I think he paid around $150 for all four.

 

Yikes Hellion... those Challenge wheels are going to be brutal to keep clean in the winter. You could probably get a good price for those and buy a nice, maintenance friendly wheel for winter use. I'm thinking of a set of these if they clear the brakes (17x7.5, 40mm offset, $109 each).



I've seen pictures of these mounted on Minis and they look quite nice. I have a similarly styled open wheel on my S4 and and and it's really easy to keep the brakes and wheels clean. What snow tires are you looking at? My experience has been that you have to order those in September to get what you want.
