Acid Orange Powder Coat equivalent
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I looked into painting the wheels but the price was $1100 to $1300 for 4 wheels. I looked into powder coating. To make a long story short I paid Prismatic Powders to develop a match to Acid Orange. I got the wheels back today, not bad and a far better look than graphite. And the good news is that cost was very reasonable. Color development (one time cost I paid for) $300.00 Powder coat material (2 stage x 4lbs each) $126.71 2 stage powder coat $300.00 Total $726.71 The next set of wheels will cost (my rain wheels): Powder coat (2 stage x 3lbs. will do 4 wheels) ~$100.00 Powder coat $300.00 Total $400.00 The pictures are Chicago afternoon winter lighting so take that in consideration. All in all a nice setup for the track. The color is called Russet Copper (they would not allow me to name it) PMB 10505 Copper Russet Step 1 PPB 10506 Copper Russet Step 2 NIC Industries, Inc. 7050 Sixth Street White City, OR 97503 United States Ph: 541-826-1922 Fx: 541-826-6372 www.nicindustries.com The Powder Coater: Fox Valley Sandblasting & Powder Coating 1211 Badger St. Yorkville, IL 60560 630-553-6050 larry@foxvalleysandblasting.com www.blastandcoat.com While not perfect, I am very happy and powder coating will fit the vocation. Let me know if you have questions. |

Color looks great - it would look really cool if the spokes were left bare/polished metal like OEM, but I understand that's maybe not achievable with powdercoating at a reasonable price point.

Looks really good man! Might have to hit the guys up in Yorkville for some coating.

Oooh curious to hear about your clearance...I tried mounting 265/35/19 RRs on my 10.5et22 wheels and had clearance issues. They looked beefy and sure enough proved to be too big. Hopefully mounted on 10" wheels you'll be fine.

265/35/19 fits comfortably in front or rear. I'm running 275/35/19 on the front and 305/30/20 on the rear, no issues. |

I haven't looked to see how the OEM wheel was manufactured, but many companies will paint the whole wheel one color then cut away the paint on the top surface with a cnc or a lathe. Some companies call it a 'diamond cut' finish. I know most of the wheel refinishers out here in SoCal can perform this work.

For a track wheel the one color powder coat is perfect. Since this is a 2 step the color coat - grind - clear coat is very possible and realistic since the powder coating is so reasonably priced.
