i'd suggest powdercoating them if you are going to do anything.

I just spent $100 powdercoating some wheels. In retrospect, I should've just rattle canned the f**kers. 2 seconds in the sand and they're all dusty anyhow. Barely look black.

Powder coating them is ur best bet.

i painted the rims on my craptor with just a can of flat black sprey paint, did 2 coats of flat black and 2 coats of gloss and they held up ok for a while but i ride woods a lot with the craptor so they finaly started chipping. but if i had the money i would have gotten them powdercoated.

Maybe back east. Or if you have a hook up.

$50? I still would've just sprayed em myself. Luckiy I got the tires mounted for free.

My 87 has powder painted itp steel wheels {off set}. Had it done for free where I worked. If you have aluminum wheels, I would go powder paint, simply because wet paint doesn't stick to aluminum very well. If you have steel wheels, have them media blasted, then use black primer, then gloss black paint. Good thing about using a rattle can is if you get scratches, you can touch up the scratched area. Bansh88 is right, 2 mins of riding in sand, and its hard to tell what color they are.

50 is too much?? thats freakin chump change for anything on a banshee. hell when i order parts its never less than 300 bucks...

 

bottom line..ive seen painted wheels...they end up lookin like ass if you do any type of real aggressive riding..my pc on my craptor has held up to alot of abuse at hillclimbs and me poundin on them at my house when im in the fieldfreakin around..pc is worth the money..
