Color coating wheels

[Zexel]

ok, I've decided I'm going to put wheels on my Sentra.  only because then it gives me a semi-better ride quality (putting adj. coilovers too) and a little bit of style while I save up for my 240!  now, if I find a good deal on eBay or just a website, and they don't have the color I want (gunmetal, not like red or yellow, gunmetal will match my car beyond perfection) anyways, like I was saying, how much would it cost to get the wheels color coated gunmetal and do you think it'd be worth the money?  or should I just wait and try to find a deal with the wheels already gunmetal from the factory?  I've seen them around (Motegi MR-7), but I was just curious how much it would cost if possible.  thanks ahead of time

If you're saving for a 240, then why are you spending money on a car you own already?  Don't waste money on that Sentra, keep it and add it to your 240 money so you can have even better stuff for it.

i wouldnt go with coloring your wheels get them powder coated that lasts longer and is more durable.

what kinda sentra u got? a sr? or ga16de?

it's just a ga16de.  and vertigo, because I plan to save hella money for my 240, like a 97 or 98 right before I graduate high school.  I'm a Sophmore and that's going to be my own "graduation" gift to myself.  and because it's a good car, just needs a little exterior looks here and there, mainly wheels.  and when I get on the interstate, I'm afraid to go 80+ mph cause I think the bycicle tires I have on my car will pop because of the speed rating! haha, horrible.  and wheels are the only thing I'm going to do to my car, maybe like a short shifter or something, but nothing else.  and I plan on keeping this car for a good while, or til my 240, so I might as well do something to it that puts a smile on my face when I go out and say that's my car. (91 XE btw)

zexel do you check these boards out?

www.b15sentra.net      sentra.net

and www.sr20deforum.com (this one is more for the sr powered sentra's nx's and 200's. also has a 240 w/ det section)

[Zexel]

checked out all of them.  there's only one problem, most of those sites cover SE-R's!!! and I don't have an SE-R, so that makes it kind of difficult.  I think I'll probably just buy some wheels that are already gunmetal...hey spoiled, powder coat them right?  I don't know much about coating and such, is there a way I can powder coat it the same color as my car??  like, exactly?!
