Got some H2 rims today!

$100 on E-bay. Anyone know of a good powdercoater and machine shop in the Rancho Cucamonga area?

I need to open the hub opening to 121.5 mm (4.774") correct?

I'm thinking about going with a charcoal grey color rim instead of black. What do you guys think? Should I just stick with black? I have a black MegaCab.

Thanks!

if you happen to be around here I have a great guy that powdercoats. He only charges somethin like $200 for a set of wheels.

or for what you would pay to get them done you could buy a small powder coating kit and use the ole oven to cure the powder, lots of kits available and tons of colors, only chore would be prepping them for the powder.

Edit: did ya pick tires for it yet? that will be your next decision, bfg, nitto's, mastercraft, cooper......

For that reason alone I'd rather pay to have them done. Not only that my wife would castrate me if I shoved rims in the oven!

That's a great price! Hey man, I got mine done in the Coasta Mesa area (right off 405 and 73, north a couple miles). Anywho, the dude did mine, including sandblasting, for 180 bux. Not sure how far of a drive that is for you or if it would be worth it. Lemme know if you want the info. Oh yeah, my vote is black rims.

Yeah, I was stoked on the price. In fact, I wasn't even looking to buy any at the moment. I just told my brother, "Hey, if you know anyone selling their stock Hummer wheels for cheap let me know." He immediately jumped on E-bay and found that set. The auction was ending in 2 hours and there were zero bids (somehow it slipped through). Anyway, I need to head your way to pick them up, they are in Laguna Niguel!

And I'd definately like the info for that powdercoater for me, if you don't mind. I don't mind driving down there (its only 45 minutes - my wife, son and I spend plenty of Saturdays at the Orange County Marketplace there at the fair grounds).

On a side note, I have a 26 year old brother that grew up in the "Clem" . Maybe you know him or his knucklehead friends. His name is Corey Guerra.
