Dymag Dilemma

[LGAFF]

I found a local guy that powdercoats magnesium so I have dilemma....I have a set of 4 17X9.5s that are unique as they are in original condition and the design is rare. If I powdercoat these silver I will break up the set and ruin the original paint.....however I could also leave them as original and powder coat the rears in Charcoal.

(I have 2 17X11 and 4 17X9.5s)

We both have 2 17x11's and 4 17x9.5's.

Have we got the market cornered yet?:mrgreen:

I'm going to do the silver as well on all of them. Two of the 9.5's will come to you as part of our other deal.

May I ask roughly how much PC'ing magnesium costs?

$200

The Color was alittle flatter than I thought, its more of a silver you would see on a Pantera Campo wheel. That might also be due to the casting of the wheel, which is rougher than modern wheels

The 2 17X11s I have are not matching, one is machined on the spokes and has the Corvette and Dymag engraving......also that wheel is not tapped for cooling caps as the others are....

Hard to bitch when I picked these up for $160 total

[FU]

They look great. And 200. for the PC is a real good price.

[ZZZZZR1]

I'd buy that for $360!!!!!!!!!!!!


You are the man Lee! I'm jealous.

Cool wheels. I have a dumb question, as it appears that three of the wheels are the same and one is different. ??? One doesn't have the small holes around the center... is there a difference?

Thanks

The two back are the same wheel, but the odd one out is the street version designed for a a large center cap. It is also not tapped for cooling caps.

Unfortunately finding a 17X11 Gen I is very difficult and I have been looking for 3 years to find one. I might have the Corvette and Dymag logos airbrushed on to the wheels and might even have the Cooling Cap taps airbrushed onto the the odd wheel.
