Well, my father did and he got an oven to go with it. I have an '01 arctic white vert. I'm now thinking of powder coating the stock rims white (I know.. brake dust warnings etc. The car is a brake dust magnet anyway). Has anybody done this? Anybody got pics? What yer thoughts on the subject?

Haven't done this to mine, but several members have been talking about it lately. Seems the common caution is about the high temps required to bake on the powdercoat. Hopefully someone that has done it can give you more information.

Well, my mind is made up. I'm gonna figure this process out on some spare rims and then do mine white.

Thanks for the cautions and pics.

I don't like black wheels because I think they just look like dirty wheels, but I think white wheels could totally rawk!

While you have the wheels off put on some ceramic brake pads. They will cut down on the dust amount considerably.
