Wow. Those look really good. I'm going to head over there and check them out. How long did it take them to coat the rims? Did they dismount the tires for you as well?

Turnaround depends on how busy and/or backed up they are. I dropped off all the parts (emblems and exhaust too) in September and told them I did not need them anytime soon. These were new wheels.........dont have my truck yet.

Any idea on how long that paint will hold up? Don't want to do that to my wheels if it won't last long.

Paint on the emblems??...or the powder-coat on the wheels/exhaust tips?? If you're talking about the powder-coat, it is much stronger/more durable than paint. I had 2 vehicles previously with pc and never had any issues.

It's not traditional paint. Powder Coating is paint in powder form and is sprayed on the wheels and then bake it an oven. The powder adhere/bonds to the metal. Very VERY durable.

I called and emailed this shop a few months ago about a set of wheels for my landcruiser and never heard back from them. It looks like they do good work.

Question for you .. what are you planning to do about the lug nuts? The stock ones are chrome and prob would look silly with these wheels.

Figure Finishing.........125/wheel

Figure Finishing



Still thinking about mounting the wheels after winter, though
