yeah, i'm only like 40 min. away from mechanicsburg...and ship is waaaaaay more country than that...seriously, theres like 10 stoplights in the whole town...so talk about culture shock when i got to nyc lol. seriously though, i would help you out if you wanted. anytime you're around...

 

lmfao wow i thought mechanicsburg was bad every1 sooo laid bak and so slow lol i went to a bob evans? and ive never seen a place like that IN MY LIFE lol it was fun to get away from the city but i missed it too much lol. yeah definatly im coming bak up to PA sumtime in the next couple of months i might jus hold u on that offer=)

 

ok, sounds good. i'm up for it. def. let me know then.

 

don't forget, it took us three days to paint our rims like that...

if you're just talkin' about painting the whole rim one color, then that could be done in a day, but it'd probably take the whole day to do it right...

don't mean to rain on your parade... just keepin' it realistic

 

yeah i know what u mean nah i dont want the rim like u guys I WOULD LOVE IT but its jus too time consuming i jus want one color and its either gonna be Black or Gold im not to sure though i have a FM also i like how the gold looks on urs but i also want the "blacked out look" not to sure yet i gotta think bout the color choice.

nah i understand no raining on my parade jus giving me advice and letting me know the deal, but i know in one day one color can be done=)

tcbabe definatly ill be keeping in contact with ya hopefulyl when this winter is done and over with=)

 

im excited for spring, im gonna paint my stock wheels with my snow tires. i just need a crazy color to paint them.... hmm

 

I was wondering, I have a powder coating business that does mainly the bottom of boats. The first question i have is how much you guys would pay to have your stock rims powder coated or any rim for that matter does not matter what color. Second question is would it be worth buying some stock tc rims and then putting them back up here for sale. If so how much would they sell for?

 

Assuming that we're only talking about rims (and rims alone - no tires) in this idea...

First, if you could keep it at around $50 per rim for one color, you'd get a lot of takers (considering that chrome plating usually runs around $100 per rim).

Custom (two or more color) jobs around $100 per rim would be attractive.

But one problem that arises would be the cost of shipping. It would cost a lot to ship four rims to get a job done, so it might only attract mostly local business.

Second, you should be able to get some stockies around $200 with a little curb rash. If you clean them up, fix the rash, and powdercoat them, you'll have some nice rims to sell. How much you sell them for will depend on how much your cost to powdercoat them will be. $500 for a set of professionally powdercoated rims would be a good deal.

Those are my two cents... from a buyer's point of view. Your time and cost of supplies would definitely play a big part on how these numbers work for you... but it's a starting point. Hope this helps...

 

Yeah it helps out alot. I think ill go with buying a couple of stock rims like you said with some minor probs for around 200. But if i were to turn around and sell them for 500 you would say that would be a deal?

 

Yeah, $500 for a set (of four) rims that are professionally powdercoated would probably be a good deal.

 

Time for me to start powder coating!!!!

 

Good Luck, be sure to post pics of your finished work.
