Powder coating qx56 22" rims

[Desidon]

Anyone powder coated the factory 22" rims to a darker shade? If so what are your thoughts on the process. Also anyone has any pics?

^ my wheels in black chrome PVD. I know some places can do black chrome in powdercoat but they have to be really good and the durability is no where near as good as pvd.

I had www.calchrome.com do it. They did several sets of rims for me before and are really professsional. The coating is called " Black Chrome PVD " It takes about 3-4 weeks of total downtime so its best if you have a spare set of rims to send in... The cost after shipping and packing was like $ 1150.00, which considering the price of decent 22" rims is a bargain imho.

they do look pretty amazing. I cant justify the cost and i dont have any spare spares . please post a photo when you have them on.

Yea I will def post a photo. The coating itself is tougher than any oem coating. And when it gets dirty/coated in brake dust than it just looks almost flat black
