No trouble at all no pitting paid $95 awheel 3days
Thanks for the insight.

Another question, did you powder coat the back side of wheel where it mounts to the hub?

I've heard (recently read), people having issues with mounting after this. Thx

Rich
I had my TSW's pc'd in gloss black.

Including entire back side, to include where wheel mounts to hub.

No issues whatsoever.

One day turn around, from tear off, to re-install.
Appreciate the insight.

1 day turnaround...wow...I need this kind of service. Time to see if a few extra greenbacks can expedite the service.

Had my CTS-V wheels powdercoated gloss black. they held up fantastic! no issues what so ever. I also paid $110 a wheel as they were chrome wheels i had coated.

If i didnt have a PP car i would deffinitly do it again!

How durable is the coating? I'm assuming pretty strong. I'm on the fence about it. New tires and powder coat the rims.... or just spend a few hundred more, get rims (and move to 20's), and then get new tires.  Since tires seem to be cheaper for a 20" rim than a 19" rim.

Almost 2 months in on my powder coat job...not a rock chip in them. Holding up better than the paint job on the car in comparison. If getting it done, be sure to specify the importance of mounting the tires and not scratching them. Took me many stops and talks before I found a place I'd trust after discount tire messed them up and had to have buffed out.

I think you'll love them... My son PC'd his F150 4x4wheels black 4 years ago and is off road  about 10-15% of his driving, plus it's a DD. They look like new.

This is something I have been wanting to do to the very same set of rims as the OP. However, the tires for the 19's are pretty expensive. Had to replace all four at once when I got mine last year.

I got the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2's from Tire rack for just over $200 each...great tire so far. Hook really well at the dragstrip and took the road course abuse pretty well.
