Repaint/Powdercoat Wheels...Cost?

Sorry man, didn't know you had 15's.. do you really get 70 mpg? the closest i git on my 17's is 67 mpog

 

I have a 2012 PIP with OEM streamline 15" rims, especially designed for the PIP. I average 70 mpg. Sometimes I get as much as 80/85 mpg on a roundtrip. I took a look at the Costco Velox rims at your suggestion. Didn't see any for $399. The least expensive I saw were $560 and those were for 15s, 17s started at $640. They are relatively heavy, they are not streamlined, and the 17" tires will cost more than the 15s. This will probably cost you a 10% hit on your mpg's. That's fine if that's the look you are after and willing to pay the penalty. It all depends on your priorities.

 

it was an in-store special i guess, i'll get you a pic when i stop by this week.
