there are 3 more right below it. they are the stock wrx rims painted black (by the previous owner)... i'm probably gonna have them cleaned up and maybe powdercoated... we'll see.

Very Nice! congrats! Post up pics soon. I have a stock wrx set waiting to be put on my BK for the spring time.
Then I'll have the steelies painted in the same flat black color.

at this point, i'm waiting to see about powdercoating... once i get that taken care of, i'll have the bridgestones that are on the car now switched over to these rims and get them mounted.

Usually they dont :lol:
Actually, a guy who lives in PA just joined ECB and does powder coating in his garage. Tons of us are getting him to do stuff, once I get his # and pricing I'll PM it to you

Should be pretty neat looking on the silver wagon. Not my style, but at least they're the right offset for the car now.

Are there any issues with powdercoating aluminum wheels? I've got a set of stock wheels that are getting fugly. Peeling and corroding. I've been thinking of painting them, but since I now know there's a local source for powdercoating.....

i can't see why there would be a problem...
that all reminds me of one of my friend's here who painted his wrx rims and then baked them in his mom's new oven! :lol: awh, good times..the house smelled horid for days

All you need is a hot day outside, and a coolish area inside to paint.
Garage & Ohio sun = 8)
I'd have someone media blast the metal though, but the paint can be done from a can. :D

strat - do you think you could take a pic of the car with them in front of the existing hubs?
I am thinking of painting a 2nd set black...black on black.

i'm not 100% sure i understand... you want a pic of me holding them up in front of the existing wheels or do you want me to jack the car up and bolt one on for pic sake?

We want to see them on the damn car Spence! Let's get those bad boys on!

:lol:
i should have them on soon... i need to make some payments first (other car/college/etc)
i'll probably end up holding off on powdercoating till a later date. 8)
i'll see if i can pull the car in, jack it up, and bolt one on to give you guys an idea

That would be great. Just any way to get an idea of what they'd look like would help me a great deal. :D
