Powder coating rear wheel.

[spyder lizzie]

I was lucky enough to get a free set of rims with my Sypder when I bought it in July. I just got them put on and they look awesome---totally all black. Now, I'd like to have my rear rim all black as well to match. Would it be easiest/cheapest to just powder coat the rear wheel ?
How much is that ? Other suggestions ?
Thanks, Spyder Lizzie

ataDude has one currently for sale in the WTB forum. I am sure he could give you some suggestions and do's/don'ts.

You should be able to have it powdercoated for $50-70 and it will hold up well.

Hey, Blane. Try triple that... there are three pieces... wheel, hub and belt pulley. Then add in about $200 worth of bearings, seals, spacers, nuts and the like.

Got me on that one I was just thinking rim but yes all the rest would complete the look.:gaah:

Oh, and I forgot the labor to remove all bearings and reinstall... another $150-$200.

My $550 complete black rear wheel looks good now, huh?
