Just got my wheels back from the powder coater!! I love them now. In the next few weeks the car will be getting lowered on some koni sp3's and eibach springs.Just waiting on a few more things.

 

it definitely needs a drop but other than that the car looks good

 

Drop first...rims second. Looks really good though. Get a-spec to top it off!

 

wow, I usually dislike the 4x4 look, but it looks good in these pic's. but better wen dropped.

 

Rims look nice, definately needs a drop though

 

Nice rim choice

 

I am just waiting for my top hats to come. Then its getting dropped.

 

Nice contrast. AM FTW!!

As others said, it will look even better dropped.

 

I love the wheels man! Once it's dropped, they will look even better

 

Very nice love the black rims. But yeah bad thing about black rims is that the tires must be shined up 24-7. Cant wait for the drop

Might I ask what was it per wheel to get done?

 

maaan your car looks nice specially with those rims

 

o yeah u should prob consider some S-tails or tinting your all reds because they are now with the AM and black rims

 

Corupt, a couple of the guys had a good suggestion about the Aspec Kit. It would really set your TL off right. There is a group buy for Aspec Kits from a new sponsor on Acurazine-here is the link:

Consider it-I think it will be a great addition to your TL.

 

I payed $75 a wheel for them to be powder coated. The place was local to me.

 

I definetly want an Aspec kit. Its just not in the budget right now.

 

Those look hot.

 

Thats a great price I have had members ask me how much mine are all the time. I have heard some crazy quotes that ppl have been getting like 120 per rim for 17's

 

Where in SJ are you? I get down there a couple times a year (Cumberland County) and I'll keep a lookout for an AM with black wheels.

I've got an AM myself but it's bone stock exterior wise except for a catback.

 

Car looks good bro!! I need to get my aspecs powder coated and have gotten quotes of 120- 150 per wheel. More details about your spot please.

 

Usually not a fan of black wheels, but yours look good.
I see you got the Type-S sidemarkers---I think the Depo ones would be better for the Dark-on-AM theme you got going, as well as Type-S tails to darken up the back a bit.
Looking good! Another AM Brutha!

 

Some type S tails are coming just not sure when. But not a fan of the depo sidemarker lights. Like the nice clean flow of the type S ones.

 

OP if you dont mind me asking....how much did u pay for the powder coating ??? am trying to get my 18" rims powder coated and many are asking for $400-$500....

heck $500 !!!

 

I payed $300 from a local place.

 

I am by Rowan college.

 

That's a good price. How is the quality?

 

^^^

 

The quality is good. They arent 100% perfect but i am very happy with them.

 

CORUPT, What size tires are on your wheels? and where did you get you AEM V2? I cant seem to locate one... All I get on searches is a standard AEM CAI. Thanks for your time bro...

 

drop first then wheels please

 

The tires are a 245/35/19 and for the aem v2 you can get it from heeltoe auto or excelerate performace. They both have them.

that's a great price for the powdercoat. i was calling some local places to get my spare set of chrome aspec wheels powdercoated and they ranged from like 75-125. the higher end prices were for a base coat and then a clear.

i like your wheels but then again i am a little biased

do you know if they did a base then a clear?

 

Nice.

 

Base and a clear would be automovotive paint. Powder coating is a powder sprayed on with a negative charge then baked. No clear involved.
