Wheel Gleam on McDonald street in Osborne Park are good.

sweet ill go check him out do you no roughly how much it would be to paint

[Hank Scorpio]

No I don't sorry, I usually get trade price as I use him through work. Maybe ~$200 for the set? Guess it would depend on paint colour, existing damage, etc.

Which side of McDonald St are these guys on? East or West of the Freeway?

are they nice jap rims or just cheap ones? and how much do u wanna spend?

personally if they're a nice set of rims and u dont wanna skip on quality powdercoat them for a few hundred dollars

i wouldnt pay a few hundred just to paint them, paint scratches easily, a good quality paint wont scratch as easily but if its gonna cost you a few hundred dollars thats round about the same price to powdercoat them.

i painted my stockies with a very cheap brand spray can (primer then gloss black) about a year ago and they're still fine today no chips no faded paint its still surprisingly good haha and i wash the car regularly and drive it daily, and the best part about this way is it'll cost you $5, if u do hit a gutter or something u can always touch it up with the leftovers in the can using a brush and if u dont like how it looks just rub it down with thinners.

Did some calling around myself a few weeks ago regarding this, this was probably the best I came up with:

Diamond Powder Coaters

2/51 Division St, Welshpool WA 6106‎ - (08) 9258 4355‎

Guy I spoke to was called Martin

Said that for $50 a rim they do: sandblast rim, primer and topcoat/powdercoat

Going to be getting my existing Advan AVS's done if the car doesn't sell in the next 2 weeks

I'm seriously thinking of getting my 5Zigens powder coated in jet black!

Just need to find a *good* set of 255/40 18" tyres to match. I am not liking my current Yokos
