Thanks for the info. But how much to you think it would cost to have wheels painted. Like it's been said over and over...I'm not rolling in money. So if I bought wheels because I liked the style, but they weren't the TA style, then I would have to dish out more money to have them painted and still be able to have money to put tires on them.

well, professional powder coating isn't cheap at all... but it'll last. You can also get them just sprayed, I'm not too sure how much that will cost, but I'm assuming it'll be like $50+ per wheel (just a guess...).

If you think you're saavy enough, just rattle can them. At the parts store, they do actually carry paint specifically for wheels. Its like $5 a can.

I spray painted my old mesh wheels a while back. They came out pretty good.

Bingo.

You're not gonna find new wheels in that style in your price range that are worth a damn (or safe to drive on).

Just because you WANT something to be a certain way doesn't mean the Universe will comply with your wishes.

Facts is facts, and the advice has been given.

Try Classifieds for some used wheels.

edit- my bad it was linked in teh thread where the guy was asking for a knock off of a sportmax 501 (or 002). and no one could figure out who makes a kock off of a knock off, but tano found vorks
Its nice to now That I was remembered for something other than being an annoying PW.
