Well I dropped the ball and 2 seconds of poor judgement resulted in curb rash on one of my wheels. My question is this.. Has anyone powder coated the 08 stockers bronze or gold? Particularly on a silver is-f. If not could someone photo shop it, I know some of you have some skills. Lastly, I'm looking for a reputable wheel refinisher in the dc md va area. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

maybe this is a good opportunity for u to just buy aftermarket rims

I've never used them myself, but my wife says many people from her s2ki club swore by Ye Old Wheel Shop on Route 1 in Elkridge, MD.

Well my only fear of having just one refinished is that it will be noticeably different then the others. That's where the bronze idea came in.

I'm not sure about gold but bronze will look pretty good. Instead of matte bronze, you should go for Hi-meta Bronze like Rays offers on RE30s.

Check out the new Volk Racing G25S. I was considering this wheel but have to do some work on my transmission...

I think your on to something with the bronze. Gold may be too bright on the car.

I just had 3 of my wheels refinished in Baltimore and they did a great job. The dealer scratched them putting on new tires. I will call the dealer tomorrow to get you the name of the company they used.
Which wheel did you curb?

Not to side track the thread but whats wrong with your trans?


We have a guy at my shop that does good work fixing wheels but sometimes they don't match. Could you turn it in on your insurance and get a new wheel? I think going aftermarket would be your best bet. The ones posted above are nice.

Can you get me the name of the place too, I'm in MD (Hanover). No rash yet but I feel that it is only a matter of time

EEEK, I just curbed one of my wheels last thursday... was sooooo mad at myself since it happened in a parking garage at my work that I've been driving through for the past 6 years!!!!

Anyways, back on topic.. I don't know how "good" bronze or gold would look on a silver car. It would probably look better on a red, white, or black car instead.... what about doing a full polish? Too much bling?

Definitely too much bling and maintainence if I polished them. I curbed the passenger front rim. Im not just considering having the rash taken out and going gloss black on all 4 like on my lightning.
