You can't powder coat plastic. You can powder the rest of the rim but the center cap will be the same. You could paint the center cap but it just would look the same IMHO. If you need a place to get coating from let me know.

I have powder coated 2 sets of rims both costing about 150.00 total.

Nah, he's saying the center cap is plastic. The rest of the wheel can be powder coated. Wheels should fit perfect :thumbup:

that looks like the FRPP tuner wheel???

powder coating ROX!!!!

i've done a few things on my car, but i really think the cheapest way to get it done is to buy a powder coat gun and an old used oven to bake your own parts.

find Eastwood automotive some time and check out their Hot-Coat system, its awesome and really simple to use.

That it is. I just realized Dukman's and elderfeces cars both have the FRPP tuner wheels

They should bro...the rims stick out 2mm more than the SVT's. You'd actually clear better I would think.

The higher the # for the offset, the further in the wheel tucks :thumbup: The SVT rims are all 49mm IIRC. So the 47mm shouldn't tuck in as far as the 49mm offset.
