Ok, I will start preparing. I'm going to throw some tires on my stockers, have the tires taken off my rims so I can send them to you. I wanted the chrome pc...what do you think I'm looking at here, price wise? And what forms of payment do you accept?

What wheels are they? What condition are they in now? I take MO, CC's, and Paypal.

They are pictured in my signature. They are 18x9 RPM 505's. They have a 4" polished dish and are painted hyper silver; one piece. One is in not so good condition w/ bad peeling on the dish. The other 3are fine with some minor pitting....very minor. All four have VERY minimal curb rash...I know you won't be fixing that, that doens't bother me, like I said it's very minimal, it might not even show up after you powder coat them.

Is it chrome that's peeling? I'm currently trying to find a good way to get that stuff off so if it is chrome I'll probably hold off on quoting you a price till I figure that out.

No, not chrome. There is no chrome on these. There is a clear coat on the polished lip to protect it. That is peeling, hence the pitting underneath.

I'm thinking a good sandblasting would be a good prep for powdercoating for my wheels....or an acid dip. But like I said, there's no chrome.

Alright, if there's no chrome then it shouldn't be an issue. Some stripper will get the clear off then sandblasting will get it ready for powder. I can probably do all 4 for $325 shipped back to you. Shipping's the killer on these things.

Very nice. Beats the hell out of buying new wheels. I will get your address from you and ship them to you at around the end of the month. I will use paypal for the funds. What do you think the turn around will be?
