Default Where Can I Get My Wheels Painted
I'm looking to get Volk's painted maybe semi-gloss black with a blue lip. Anyone know of any shops around the area that can do it??

OMG.

Try taking them to a local body shop. Depending on what type of Volks you have (ie. forged or multi piece) you should not powercoat them due to high heat.

I "heard" that the powerdercoating process can alter the integrity of forged wheels due to high heat. Read it on a Z or G forum. Not sure of it's vaildity. But I'd research before I have it done. Volks are painted from the factory anyways.
