You need to powder coat the gas cap to match the wheels. Otherwise it doesnt fit. also suggestion for your stripes is black. That way the whole car is pulled together nicely. Admitedly I thought it was going to be a bad idea to darken them BUT you might just pull of a ****-*** look if you finish it off right.

Congrats on personalizing the car to your tastes.

I like it but I think it like it a little better in the original chrome.

Nonetheless, nice ride.

I am with Jon on this one and figured black stripes would be the only way to go with those wheels. The wheels look great and now I will have to work harder to see if I could ever pull it off. Congrats on a very unique look!

Re: Bat\'s Powdercoated Stock Wheels(PICS)

Thanks guys. I knew some of you would like it when you finally got to see the end result .

Yes, the gas cap cover is next! I'll powdercoat the whole thing, but leave the mounting screws polished . I think it will look hot!

Re: Bat\'s Powdercoated Stock Wheels(PICS)

Looks great, Now you gotta powder coat the gas cap and get darker lettering .btw don't get black stripes because it will look too dark, just get dark gray stripes

 

[ILLSMOQ]

Re: Bat\'s Powdercoated Stock Wheels(PICS)

looks good, do the gas cap, emblems and stripes in the same color...don't do comp coupe stripes, do the regular stripes.

 

[Blue Batmobile]

Re: Bat\'s Powdercoated Stock Wheels(PICS)

anyone know where to get a set of emblems for the side of the car? I'd like to get a darker finish if available. Looked on ebay but couldn't find anything.

Bat I posted a thread over on another off-topic forum slamming your wheels because I think they are beyond awful and WOW everyone loves them. I still say the emperor has no clothes but . . .

Re: Bat\'s Powdercoated Stock Wheels(PICS)

Hey Bat, were your sidewinder's raw or polished before you powdercoated them? I'm thinking of these wheels (not powdercoated) for my '97 B/W. Thanks man.

 

[Blue Batmobile]

Re: Bat\'s Powdercoated Stock Wheels(PICS)

polished.

Well Bat is coming from the Import side of the fence...Its the JDM look...It looks nice on some cars...Not too keen on it on a Viper though.....

I was about to make a comment about as well. From the links both Phoenixgts and I posted from the Nissan and Audi forums, it was an overwhelming thumbs up from those guys. I was actually surprised when I even posted the idea about doing this, how the majority of you guys gave a thumbs down on the idea. Whatever the case, I Love it!

Looks great!

What's the cost on doing that?

Re: Bat\'s Powdercoated Stock Wheels(PICS)

lookin good

Re: Bat\'s Powdercoated Stock Wheels(PICS)

Looks great!

What's the cost on doing that?

powdercoating starts at about $55-$65. I paid extra to have them pickup my wheels with tires, have them dismounted for powdercoating, clearcoat over powdercoat, remount the tires and tps and delivery them to me. 2 day turnaround in my case . $650.
