    POWder Coat

    Three sets of rims since I bought the VX in September, but I cant seem to agree to one. I think I just like the idea of switching the look of the ride almost monthly.

    I am very intrested in white powder coating a set of used rims. But I do not know much about that. I guess you can go to any or most paint/body shops and get this done for how much$?

    Here are the rims I would like to powder coat.

    I kinda dig this look minus the decals and add some white screws.

    Well if you go with white, you might as well go ahead and get ceramic pads at the same time or brake dust will drive you crazy.

    Those are Borbets (no longer made) shown on the Ironman. Body shops don't do powder coating, but there is a place in Shelbyville, KY called IPC that could do it. I can check into it if you want, we send a lot of things there for powder coating.

    Wink

    Back when I was "wheel-hunting" I came across these and thought they would look good on an IronMan VX:

    JDM JAOS Victron Wheel (Victron Excel II Pro 16X8 Offset 0) "White"

    Unfortunately...they are pricey...$478.72 per wheel plus shipping ($23) at this site...maybe find them cheaper somewhere else?
