Powder Coating Wheels..............

Hello all ! ! !

New to this forum today. I have a 95 240SX that I have been putting some cash into lately, new calipers, pads, struts (4), tires, alignment, water pump and radiator. I'm thinking about some new paint for X-mas because she's in good shape and only has 76600 miles on her. We just got a new powder coating booth at work and I'm thinking about doing my OEM wheels black with black body paint. What do the experts think ? I would be able to do this for free to the wheels ( cool boss ). Hopefully Santa will throw in some sweet exhaust to boot. Thanks !

Also, is $183.95 a good price for a new front bumper cover ?

Black on black wheels isn't my style, I would rather go for bronze wheels...that would be hot.

183 for a BRAND new one? if so, then it's a good price. Welcome btw

I agree. Black on black sometimes looks cheap (like you have spares or something). White or Bronze would look good to me.
Welcome to the threads btw.

I personally like black on black... it's like a "stealth" look.
