I found some gxp wheels for a crazy good deal went and bought them they are not cherry but I'm thinking powder coat or have alloy wheel repair buff and re clear coat them. What do you guys think powder coat black or maybe gunmetal? Or refinish them? What size tires would you think go with the correct stock staggered or different size?
 


id do black plasti dip and im not just talking about the wheels im saying the whole entire car :) thats for you nick but id do gunmetal
 
I like the black on silver but i dont think i could keep it like that. I really like the polished look best I'm going to look into how much alloy wheel repair charges. No plasti dip for me its a good thought and idea they have with it but I'd rather do paint or powder coat. has anyone ever used alloy wheel repair before? They come to our body shop to fix wheels but I have never actually seen before and after nor the cost
 


For the gxp wheels to have the clear coat striped off and the aluminum repolished then clear coated again so they look brand new costs about 200 a rim. I had a cracked rim and had them quote having them redone and that's what they quoted me would be the top dollar. The company is called rim guard and they dis an excellent job fixing rim

Ouch 200 a wheel! I can get the powder coated for 50 a wheel that might be the route to go. But I may get a good deal through my work as soon as I see the truck there I'm going to look into it. What size tire so they look right? 235/50? Or 235/45?
