Powdercoating wheels?

[Slammed180]

Not too sure if I'm posting this is the right spot or not

I'm considering powder coating my S1's in gloss black. inner/outer barrels and centers. I'm worried that;
A) The look wont suit the wheel
B) If I powder coat them and don't like it, I wont be able to revert the wheels to their stock look.

Basically what I'm wanting to know is by powder coating my wheels, will I ever be able to get them back to what they looked like before if I ever change my mind about the look?

[Dustxking]

why dont you photoshop them in the color you want then see if you like it.

I don't want to ruin my wheels if 2 years down the road my tastes change.

I'll get pics of my car up in a bit. It doesn't have a front end, and is getting some body work done to it. It's being painted R35 gunmetal grey.

[BTP]

i am pretty sure you once you powdercoat them there are never gonna be the same they were originally.i saw you photoshop the color you want before you change anything.

but pics of the car would help what color are you thing about using.

[weshole]

I would never disgrace a set of S1's by powdering the barrels. But, to each their own. Just an opinion.

same here bro

[Slammed180]

Yea, I'm aware that powdering a set of S1's isn't for everyone. And I'm not asking for opinions on color. I can decide what I like by myself. I simply want to know if by powdering the barrels will I be wrecking them?

I don't want to powder them, and then get bored of the style in a year or two and not be able to reverse it. I know that I like the idea of it right now, and like the look of scweet1 and ROIDMONKEY's cars with the black Equips, but can't guarantee that I'll like that look forever.

[supportTHEezln]

You could always just buff the shit out of the barrels down the road, but I imagine you obviously don't have a buffing machine, so it might cost a few bucks. Plus it'd be a hassle.

That said, I kind of like all black wheels. Unless your car is black.

[DRO916]

Instead of Gloss Black, how bout:

[Slammed180]

Yea that S15 has been floating around for ages. Like I said, I'm not too worried about making the decision to powder the wheels. I like the look, and I think it's something different. I'm worried about wrecking a pair of wheels that cost $800 each and take months to get here.

I'm not going to wreck my wheels just for the sake of having something different.

[smellslikecurry]

no risk

[Darius]

I don't understand how you would "wreck" them by powdercoating them? If you don't like the color, blast them and start over. Nothing is ever final with wheels unless you crack the hell out of them. I definitely wouldn't paint the polished aluminum part, so you'd have to take each of them apart. And I don't think Work would approve of that.

And FYI Work Wheel stickers are not cheap either ($30).

IMO, leave them be.

[fromxtor]

^ I agree I powdercoat on here, and if you dont like something you could always blast them. As long as you use the right media you wont ruin anything. But I would photochop the color you have in mind on the car before you decide to go through with it.

By wrecking them I mean non-reversible. I'm worried that the powder wont come off well enough to have a polished lip again. And $30 on stickers is nothing. I've spend far more than that on other seemingly useless items just for the sake of it.

I pretty much know that I want gloss black wheels. I think it would look good with the R35 gunmetal grey.

Anyways, thanks for the input guys. Gives me lots to think about.

[WildAsDaTaliban]

do it, i think it'll look good with the r35 gunmetal color.

Yes you will. It would be better to get them professionally painted. Those wheels have already been sprayed by work, they have a clear coat to protect the dish.
Powder is thick, it will add approx 5% weight to the wheel ( not sure how accurate, just grabbed it off google)

[blueshark123]

u can have it always media blaster off and re polished like new paint/powder coating is never permenant

I was going to take them to Alberta Wheel Repair to have them dismantled and powdered. When you say painted, are you talking about just the centers? or the lips too? I didn't think paint would be durable enough for the lips.

Thanks for the input.

[Om1kron]

paint the barrels instead of powdercoating... sure it is prone to chips because it's not as strong, but I did not weaken or expand the metal of the wheels in any way, and I can always change the look later if I wanted to.

yes not everyone is going to like what you do. Everyone thinks I should've left the barrels polished. Good thing everyone didn't help me pay to do this.

[Slammed180]

Did you take them apart to paint? or just left them assembled? And did you clearcoat them? I remember reading gsracer's write up on refinishing wheels, and he didn't bother re-clearing them. Just curious if that would apply to a painted lip as well.
I think I'm going to go this route though. I like the idea of it not being so permanent.
Thanks Om1kron, your wheels look good too. I like the idea of something original.
+ imaginary rep.

heres an idea which i thought was really unique

Black face with polished black lip

[kuruptR]

I guess I treat my wheels like my cars paint... Iv had painted wheels, never do they chip. Maybe the odd rock chip. But the last few sets Iv had, never had a rock chip on em.

All the wheels you see with the black dish, like porsches with the black on black HRE's, those too are painted, not powdered.

Sweet. I did not know that. I figured they'd have to be powdered in order to be durable enough. Thanks for the info, I'll definitely be going this route.

like it was said it'll come off fine and not damage them as long as you use the right media or chemical. then go buy some sand paper and compound and have fun. repolishing them would be the same whether you paint or powder coat them

Black face with polished black lip

I like that alot. Very cool.

[Darius]

Agreed. That looks badass and I don't even like black wheels.

If you paint or powder the barrel, you can always have them blasted and repolished and recleared. However, this will require the wheel to be disassembled so there's some labor involved.

[g_mac530]

Do whatever you want to them. they're your wheels. Powder will not hurt the barrel, its just powder. If you change your mind down the road strip the wheels back down and polish them back up if you want or there is a powder out there called super chrome which is kinda like a polished look.

[Om1kron]

[quote=Slammed180;2914972]Did you take them apart to paint?

They were fully disassembled, the barrels and the back of the faces are completely painted as well.

They were clearcoated. But obviously the paint still hasn't cured on them since that heavy ass lugnut chunked it off =( (I dropped a lugnut out of one of the seats and it came loose from my socket before I could grab it and just fell on the lip. =( )

[smelly240]

SCweets black on black equips were amazazing. I wish i had money for thing like that.

Place here in phila does nice work (Liquid Coatings) - did my friends wheels - even fixed the curbings.

[Slammed180]

I've contacted a local shop and have got most of it sorted out. The only snag I'm running into is that the shop only has silver bolts to reassemble the wheels with. I'm wanting gold, but having a hard time sourcing them.

[silviaguy240]

bbs makes gold hardware, but its $1.70 per bolt. so you're looking at ~$250 in hardware.

http://store.blackforestindustries.com/gobbsrsboand.html

[Slammed180]

Yea, I saw those earlier when I searched, but wasn't 100% if they would work on Work wheels???
dunno, with my luck they wouldn't.

i'd say just get gold lug nuts. $250 for the hardware doesnt even sound worth it

Gold BBS RS Bolts and Nuts (http://store.blackforestindustries.com/gobbsrsboand.html)


you can paint bolts and it will be just fine. just got to know how to do it. a lot less expensive then buying specialty crap.


ugh. i hate bbs and oz.

after doing the oz wheels and having to take them apart and finding out its a 10 socket that is only specific to german wheels i hate those things with a passion. 250 for hardware is nuts. its 3 sockets! 250$ shipped from germany....

[Slammed180]

^^ How would you paint the bolts so they wouldn't chip when re-installing them?

[420sx]

you stick them into a cardboard with space in between and you just paint the top part.

when you reinstall them, put masking tape inside the socket to prevent chip/scratching and torque on the nut and not the bolt. works great.

[Slammed180]

Cool.
Thank you for the info. Definitely something I will be doing.

yeah right............... painted bolts


what a fucking waste of shit


come on brotha, you know better than to give out advice like this


buy some proper hardware. the above bolts may be a bit much, but at least they are proper. you can probably have a specialty hardware store find you some nice ss fasteners for a slightly lesser cost.. but hey, it is what it is. you have multi-piece wheels, deal with the consequences. theres a reason why we dont need super fancy shit like this in life.

There are multiple ways of stripping powdercoat. You can blast it, dip it, or bake it. NONE of those processes will damage the wheel and make it so that the lips cannot be re-polished and cleared and look just like new. The only thing you will lose are the little decals on the lips and a fair amount of money. If you can afford it, and you think it looks good, Go for it. It is almost completely reversable.

I know what you mean. I'm usually not the type to cheap out on stuff for my car, but I figured they're just bolts, why not try the paint method?

Well, as it's been mentioned before, I'm now worried about the added thickness due to the powder. Would the 3 pieces still mate the same so that there's no air leaks? I've never disassembled a set of 3-piece wheels before, so I'm not 100% on what the surfaces will allow for added material (if any).

why buy bolts from BBS for double when you can get the SAME bolts grade and whistles for a lot less from fastenal?

i explained how to paint them because that what i done before for customers who wanted the bolts painted. its purely cosmetic and completes the wheel.

and for BBS and OZ wheels. you NEED those 10 point sockets. nobody has them in US, only individuals (VW forums) and they rent for 50 bux (if you know someone)

so if you want to take apart ur bbs or oz wheels, good luck doing so without the retarded german 10 point sockets.

bolts used by bbs are standard grade 8. you can reuse them just fine, use thread lock also (new or reused)

im talking about your fine reference to spray painting the bolts, which is a bunch of bullshit if you ask me. you dont paint bolts, you have them dipped. seriously, bust out the cardboard and the krylon... thats douchebaggery right there.

of course, a fastener is a fastener... you can get them anywhere.. but the price for any high quality PLATED nut & bolt isnt exactly cheap.

its like you guys have never heard my grandfather's saying: "silk underwear is for special asses" ... normal folks have normal wheels. you want forged, sure.. no problem. you want three piece? well, you better get ready to pay not only for the wheel but maintenance costs associated with those types of wheels.

you need to use silicone based hermetic, find it in home depot.

lay a bead around and bolt the wheel carefully. let it sit 24 hours. just follow instructions on the package.

come on mike. you do lights.

I DO PAINT. the fact that you thought i was talking about spray painting (which is still fine) is cute.

that is such a samantha thing to say..


you get new bolts, put them in the cup with solvent to get grease off, stick them in big cardboard. sandblast, blow them off, spray primer, spray base, spray clear. FUCKING DONE.

done done.


my point about bolts is there is no point to pay for the same bolts from BBS that are marked up that you can get from a fastener supplier. its just a grade 8 bolt. you can even get them in stainless if you want to and it still will be cheaper.

the velano wheels we did a few months back had 160 bolts in the set. cost 80 bucks with new bolts, nuts and washers. all grade 8. works fanfuckingtastic.

[INeedNewTires]

another alternative could be to just anodize the bolts...

i would think with too much paint the socket/allen wouldnt fit very well in there without chipping or damaging the finish. i dont know from experience though i'd trust 420Sx on alot of this i've seen his work shit is on point

[ayuaddict]

S1 meisters were made to be painted.

they look so much better with both lip and barrel colored!

some Hayashi/HREs i painted recently for the S30.

[fckillerbee]

when you first said you wanted to paint the whole wheel gloss black I almost threw up. it is your own taste. then you said gold bolts...and I was like...mmmm that sounds sexy. don't cheap out and paint the bolts. that'll look fake as hell. Shit you bought expensive wheels, don't be a tight wad now. Lets see some pictures when you are finished though!!!!

*is it chicken or tuna? it says chicken on the can*

[INeedNewTires]

GOOOOOOLD SON! 18k though cause its stronger than 24k.

its chicken of the sea man...

oh btw, black wheels look like pure shit on film or photos, only look semi decent in person from 3ft away. otherwise you cant see shit for design details on the wheels, (which makes buying quality wheels worth the extra money) and would completely RUIN the badassness of the stepped lip on the wheels. Dont fuck up these things, its bad enough you got black spokes.

not chrome dip or anything like that, but there are numerous coatings for metals better than paint. spray paint or pro paint, the right way to do it would be to get them in stainless. thats what i would do.

done and done, no tape on your sockets and no problems.

all good though

[fromxtor]

Powdercoat isnt that thick that you would have to worry about the extra layers being a problem during re-assembly. Sahara gold from caswell looks promising if you want that shop to coat the bolts gold, seen here: Limited Gold - Caswell Inc Photo Gallery (http://forum.caswellplating.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=943&cat=500)

It's really up to you.

Have the god damn powdercoater mask off where the gaskets seal the rims to the center. For fuck's sake you're not the first god damn person to do this to a 3-piece wheel. Why in the hell are you people making such an ordeal about it? It can be done, it is almost completely reversible, and powdercoat is NOT that heavy. If you like it, do it. Talk to a powdercoater.

Thank you for so elegantly informing me of something I was unaware.
I realize I'm not the fucking originator of this style.
I'm not willing to risk a set of wheels due to not thinking about possible outcomes.

I'm not picking a fight, but seriously chill out.

I've received the info I needed to go on with my idea.

It's just annoying to hear so many people talking about something that they don't know about. If you don't know anything about it then don't try to act like you do. I powdercoat my own parts, I KNOW for sure what can be done. All you have to do is mask where you don't want the powdercoat to go with a special tape. It's not your fault, you're just listening to uninformed people. Call any powdercoater. They can tell you more then even I can as I do not powdercoat for a living, I just have access to the equipment. The amount of misinformation being spread in this particular thread was staggering.

[Slammed180]

Fair enough.
Thank you for the correct info. I will be contacting a powdercoater, and will post the end result.

[Slammed180]

So I went ahead with this. Here are the results.

[Slammed180]

Thanks guys.
I'm really impressed with how they look.
Now to fit them on the car.

[garagelu]

The gold bolts make the wheel look ghetto. If those were my wheels, I would do either black or polished bolts. Can't wait to see what it looks like on the car though. It may look good with the rest of the car. Definately different though.

[Slammed180]

The reason I went with gold for the bolts was to try and tie into the Brembo calipers. I also ordered a set of Muteki Neo-Chrome lug nuts to help complete the look.

With the car being painted a dark gunmetal grey, and black wheels, I wanted a subtle accent color. I think this will achieve that.

But thanks for the thoughts.

[nismolism]

that looks sick....A++

WOW!! Wheels came out great dude. Cant wait to see what they look like on the car.

Wow great job AA+++ and I love gold so I might be bias but whatever, Still GREAT JOB ON THE WHEELS.

And they DONT look ghetto, It will complement the calipers.

Great job once again :)

That wont be happening for a little while.
Saving up right now for some PBM coils.
