Anyone here have any insight on pros and cons of powder coating the premium stock wheels on a '15 GX? Pictures would be appreciated as well

 

We powder coat wheels all the time.

The pro would be you get a unique look. The only con I would see is that you would want to go back to the original finish one day.

 

I appreciate the response. What’s a fair price to pay per wheel for a “standard” color like a black or grey?

 

You can find prices across the board depending on quality but you should expect somewhere around $650-1200 (full set). Keep in mind the cost of labor is included in the price.

 

Much appreciated

 

Much information out there ... and misinformation ... with resulting controversy. This link does a good job framing the question ...

If you do pull the trigger, it is clearly important that you use an experienced powder-coating operation ... specifically with aluminum wheels.

 

When I priced it out to powder coat, it was cheaper to go with new rims, so went with 17” with better availability of tires

 

Yeah I actually don’t mind the look of the wheels on my Premium , just wanted something a little darker. If it’s going to cost $600+ I might as well just get new wheels and sell mine to help offset the cost

 

@chimes, I pm'd you

 

Really happy how mine turned out. It was 700ish and that included a ceramic coating.

 

That's exactly the look I'm going for on my black GX. What does the ceramic coating do?

 

We had ours powder coated about a week after purchase. Ours is also a 2105 we purchased pre-owned.

 

Looks awesome. If I’d gotten the Base wheels I would’ve switched them out but I actually really like the upgraded wheels and they look even better in black

 

Adds a layer of protection and makes them easier to clean.
