Hey all,

I've finally had my powdercoated BBS rims fitted!

Thought you might like to see a pic of the finished product.
Craig at colorurmags (www.colorurmags.com.au) did a fantastic job! He is going to be signing up here and hopefully coming on as a Vendor. His work is A1 and will provide us with a discount of $75 per wheel ($300 for 4). Normally around $440!

That includes removal of tyres if necessary, stripping, repairs and coating.

Next is black wheel nuts and lowered suspension.

Black on white do go together well - however i'm in two minds about this look with the BBS's.

I think I like it...but...

Mmm...got more pics from another angle maybe?

Ugh i could ramble on for forking days about this stuff.

i like it, but im biased, i like black rims on any car.

As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;
 
"My eye is watering, this might be a bit hot"

I should just convert to single, right?

Gold would look **** on my car.

I don't think I will bother painting the calipers. Maybe black if I can be bothered, but there's not real point otherwise. As well as that, I don't want to ruin one of my business shirts!!! LOL!!!

It's all about the Yin and Yang Mark.....

He does great work eh? I couldn't believe how tidy his workshop was!

Tristan, there is no problem in powdercoating them. Others may have to clarify this, but I asked the same question before I had it done and he said that there are no issues at all.

If it's done properly it will take about a week or longer. Depending on what work needs done on them

You can probably get it done overnight if you go the dodgy road, as in not stripping the paint off and having it rubbed back, not having the entire wheel painted and making any repairs with bog...

Mine took 9 working days to be completed. That included stripping back to bare metal, repairing any chips or gutter rash (I had hardly any) and coating.

I suggest you take your time and find a place that does it properly. I'm not so sure that you will find better value for money than the work Craig does and has offered to us all at a discounted price!
