    Very few anodizers will do wheels. I am just about to anodize a few parts and called almost everyone in oregon. Answer was NO to wheels! They told me wheels bleed to easy and they are way to much work.

    Also, dont expect true white in annodizing. They will anno it "white" but its more of a light silver color. Annoing white isnt an option due to it not having any pigment and anno'ing being a dying process of sorts.

    Yea i figured it wouldnt be like a bright white, just figured it might be a better option for rims since it doesnt really chip like powdercoating, but maybe ill just end up going with powdercoating

    ya man I think you'll be happy with it if you go with pc, if it is done properly then it will not chip easily.

    I saw once on OCC they put plugs in the spoke holes. Call Paul Sr and ask him, or Mikey since he went there.

    Do you mean he can do wheels hubs and clamps for $90? All the parts are for an lxr so would i have to media blast my hubs and clamps first? I would definetly do that if thats the package price or i might even do it if thats just for one. I'd probably end up doing like a candyish red instead of white tho. Let me know where i'd send the parts, Thanks alot

    He did all that for $90, he even strips the ould anodizing off, two rims, two hubs, top and bottom trees , and he only took three days to get them back to me.
