Powdercoat Gloss Black RX-8 Wheels

Regulator · Postby **Regulator** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 9:14

Below are pictures of my 18x8" +50 offset OEM Mazda RX-8 wheels. These wheels were professionally powder coated gloss black by Pristine Powdercoating in Denver, CO and sealed with two coats of clear coat. They have never seen snow/salt/de-icer. They were only on my car for the summer of 2011.

They have a silver stick-on decal around the edge of the wheel that was damaged when the tires were taken off the rim, and I started to take the sticker off... but then stopped cause I'm lazy. You can see that the powder coat is fine underneath.

Price: [color="Red"]$400[/color]
(Price has been lowered because I don't want to ship)

Ohhhh nice! Awesome price too! Would take them off your hands but I'm looking for a set of 17s for the track. Good luck!

Those look really nice! But, I don't have $500 (and if I did, it would get spent on something else I want to get for someone), and the only Subaru that uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern is the 05+ WRX STi. Not even sure about the center bore.

Light for 18s but I'm looking for 17s because rubber is so much cheaper. The difference between what a set of tires cost for 18s and 17s is crazy. The weight of 17s is only an added bonus! haha

I know what you mean. I just spent almost 300 for a tire. :eek:

@Regulator how much did they charge for the powder coat?

These are listed on 3 different websites now. I would prefer to sell these to a fellow CMZC member! These things are priced to sell, they won't last long out there!

Lemme know.

No one? I thought these would be gone by now. Price has been lowered.

(Wants an extra set but doesn't think the black will jive well with grey)

Wow wow! Man I wish I had a set of 17s already. I'd pick these up and sell off a set of my MS3 wheels.

You know you waaaannaaaa. They will fill out your fenders nicely, and the tires you have now will fit.

Awesome wheels, awesome powder coating (I had pristine do a set for me in 2009), awesome price. Someone pick these up! If I was in Colorado, I'd be all over these like white on rice!
