Default Powder Coating

Do you think it is worth it to get my wheels powdercoated? Or should my cheap *** just by new rims? Give it your all....:yawn:

If I bought new rims, I would have to get one a month. Doesn't sound too great to me.

To specify, to get one a month. That means that I would have to buy ein rim each month for vier months. I know the question was going to be asked.

Um why would you have to buy one wheel every month? You can't save money and do it all at once?

Uhh sounds like a personal problem.......doesnt matter think of it this way MT sometimes run out of stock on some rims so when you have 3 of the rims the last one you order might be on back order for another month.........wouldnt that suck now ..all i'm saying is throw the cash in the bank and save like a big boy would

I don't think you're getting it. I was asking is it better to powder coat or just get new rims?

Actually I wouldn't say you have money for it because if you did, you would buy all 4 at once...then you can say you have the money for it. Got me?

So would you build a house and move in and then put the doors on later when you got the money?

Most retarded thing I have ever heard of buying one wheel at a time. When you need new tires are you gonna buy one tire at a time too?

new wheels imo, it wouldnt be a whole lot more and then you could sell your old ones and get some money back.

What is powedercoating $75 a wheel or so. The wheels are $130 ish. So you are spending $220 more to get the wheels instead of powedercoating. You could sell your old ones for $300 probably.

Actually the place I was looking at does each wheel for 40. So it's not too bad. I would like just to get new ones, but hey...you can only work with what you have. Plus, when I went to a tire shop...they said they would only buy each wheel for 25 bucks. lol

Oh, and Donnie. I would buy a house with doors. Solves that problem.

u dont put a supercharger bracket on ur car when u dont have a supercharger....

its retarded for:
1) u have a wheel in ur garage sitting there....getting dusty...and could be damaged while it sits there

2) the waiting of hte ohter 3 rims will **** u off....

3) ricers (excuse the stereotyping) buy 1 wheel at a time....and use em' cause they are impatient

I am just giving you a hard time man..calm down..and on the comment about my mommy paying my rent..you must have me confused with one of these youngsters on the site. I am 27 years old and pay for everything I own and in the process of building a new house with doors...and in the mean time I am paying my own rent, power, cell, car, insurance, internet, water, house phone, Dell.

Back to your original question..buy new wheels and skip the powder coating.

Dude I pay rent and still have the common sense to now that getting all at once is smart.....you have the logic of a girl in a store.

another example if you didnt like it would be like me getting my gears.....i'm not going to get just the ring and wait till I can get the pinion..uhhhh yeah

JUst sell your rims and get a credit card......
