You're getting ripped off if you're paying anywhere NEAR the cost of SCS or FN wheels for powder coat.

Perhaps you'd be close if you figured in selling the stock wheels, and not powder coating them.

So did you end up powder coating your wheels? I'm thinking the same idea about mine now.

Totally agree that a wise step before powder coating your rims is get pricing on some new rims you like. Still in the end I really liked the Toyota 5 star rims and my rims were pretty true. I got a good deal on powder coating. I think I was around $330 or so to powder coat the rims. Maybe I should have sold my 5 stars and bought new. The rims I liked were $700. Really in a way many of our upgrades are nuts from a strictly dollar and cents standpoint. Then again, many of the people on the T4R.org are nuts.

I just got mine powder coated and they turned out great! I didn't have to wait much tho, It was there for two days. How ever I ordered new tires from them and had them do it while the tires were off so I didn't have to pay to have them mounted and balanced twice.. Ended up costing less than half of the cost for just showing up for a powder coat. If your close to needing new tires I'd just wait and ask them what kind of deal they can do. I schedualed an appointment however which was 5 days out but that was when the new tires would show up. They even painted my hubs to match, the only picture I have and Im not sure what size this is going to post...

Couple things, I think the market for stock Trail wheels is pretty prominent. I own a 14' SR5 Prem and just purchased a second set of 13' FJ/T4R trail rims. Had them PC'd for $400, I'm in the upper Midwest. Went with a darker shade, Baracuda Bronze. Looks really sharp, although not mounted and balanced yet. Will like the improved stance with 285's and 5100's on the corners.

A good option if you want to keep a more stock look with some internal gutt upgrades.

Picked up a 2nd set of take off trail wheels, had them PC'd for $300, am really happy with how they turned out. Gonna have the set I just pulled off done too and throw our winter studs on them.

Powder Coating Stock Wheels

Looks great! Did you spray paint the centre caps and just mask off the logo?

I am also in Oregon, where did you get those powder coated for $300? Just picked up a 2020 TRD Off-Road and want to do the same thing. Has the PC held up over the last couple years? Thanks!
