I'm curious to see everyone's powder-cated wheels...s-lites, x-lites, etc. etc.

Please post pics!

I'm ESPECIALLY interested in seeing x-lites (R84s) and webspokes (R94s?).

Thanks!

Dark Silver R84s

 

r98's (web spokes) flat black centers, gloss white lip. but not powder coated, backyard paint job:

 

BEAUTIFUL wheels!

How did you deal with the plastic centercaps?

Do you remember how much you paid to have the wheels powdercoated?

Thanks!

 

STEALTHY!

Nice lookin' MINI!

 

another painted set here...powdercoating=too much $$

 

I just dropped off two used Rota Subzeros for PC...$75 for each includes repairing curb rash. If it weren't for the rash I would have considered painting instead.

 

Centers are powdercoated in a matte 'rallye grey' color, lips are fully polished (not machine cut), and bolts have been plated with gold

Powdercoating was only $40 per wheel (though, they're multi-piece wheels so they're a bit smaller than normal wheels once the lips are removed)

 

Thanks.
I paid too much. The next set (r98) I have done, I was quoted $180. All four.
Center caps were professonally painted at my Bros. shop. However, I
had good luck with Krylon Fusion plastic paint first.

 

Had my Kosei K1 racing rims go from factory white to Satin Black. $90 per wheel.....

Question tho..... I assume there is no clearcoat, What would be best? Have a body shop spray them with a top coat or just use a Dupli-color rattle can?

 

I am hoping to see someones S-Lites done in black myself, hopefully on a Dark Silver MINI with a White Top and mirrors. Because I kind of liked having my snows on cheap black metal rims all winter, the black looked kind nice on my setup.

 

mini usa, build your mini has black wheels as option

 

Konig Feathers powder coated flat black ! The Feathers were a matte sliver to start with !

 

Sweet!

 

Well it's not wearing S-Lites but how about these? You'll get the idea....

These are my track day rain wheel/tire setup. Yikes! This was pre-coilovers and the centercaps are now black as well....



Twas the reason I wanted to do the Kosei's in black. Plus don't have to clean them as often!
