Need Wheels(Car) Powdercoated

[BadTrainDriver]

I searched, but the most recent discussion was over a year and a half old.

I recently picked up a super clean 1998 Subaru Impreza L for my daily driver, it's got zero rust...and only has 80k miles. Runs like a top!!

The one sore spot is the wheels, or lack of them I should say. Factory steel wheels and hubcaps FTL.

I have a friend who owed me a favor...so to pay it back, he gave me a set of 2002/2003 16" WRX wheels. I checked them all to make sure they were straight and true, only one has curb rash, but the finish looks "old".

Normally, I wouldn't spend the money to powdercoat these particular wheels, but seeing that I have $0 in them...I can justify it, and it'll make the car look even nicer.

So...where to go?

Thanks,

BTD.

He's north though, not in central OH but worth the drive for quality and price.

Thanks, jagr.

Looks like he does awesome work, but driving to Sandusky and back twice is cost prohibitive...as would be shipping.

If I was getting my Volk wheels from my STi redone, I wouldn't hesitate, but not for these.

Gotcha. This is #2 on my list then.

They are #1 for repairs though. I'm sure you are filiar with them.

I've had work done at Wheel Medic on two previous occasions, yes.

I'll give them a call Monday unless someone else comes up with a "hook up".

I just dropped off my wheels to a guy who has been doing side work for Bike shops et cetera for years out of his garage. Meyer coating. He's in Canton South

A sample of his work:

I am a perfectionist with this stuff and I gotta tell ya, Jason does real nice work.

He took some slightly rashed ( with some gashes) Z71 rims that I picked up cheap and sanded them getting a pretty deap gash filled and after coating them they look like new.

hoblick does it too, right?

I don't think he can do car wheels.

wheel medic did a great job on my wheels on my harley truck...they were particularly hard because i wanted powder coat over the chrome and they made it work

i had a blowout the next week and tore one up and they even repaired it and refinished it for me free of charge...awesome company to work with

Or Todd Kane powder coating in Delaware. He did my brew rig.
