    A legitimate powdercoat shop can dip those and strip them for you. They use some horrendously nasty chemicals that can remove that paint.

      I did a little poking around on the interwebs and found out Goo Gone and Goof Off kill plasti-dip like a female praying mantis kills the male after mating.

      The stuff.

          Do not powdercoat these. Everyone cracks these after they get powder coated.

              This is true. Kosei's do not stand up well to powdercoat... ask me how I know.

              I tried sandblasting one of my sets of Kosei's and it didn't want to take paint off either. I ended up just sanding them down and spraying them myself.

                Disappointed. Hoping to see video of an e30 doing wheelies. I heard a myth on here a while ago about a local e30 doing wheelies on the street...haha

                    My E30 will do wheelies when I put these light weight racing JDM spec wheels on it.  Plus Snap Understeer is my tuner, so SHOC power will flow from my car like the mighty Mississippi.  My car won't even move or wheelie, it will in fact be the earth shifting due to the immense amount of torque.  Give me hoosiers, and I will cause the earth to shift far enough toward the sun that Wisconsin will have the same climate as Columbia, also the cocaine.

                            What color are you going to paint them?  90's Pontiac theme is my vote.  Red on red.

                                      Got in my wheelie spacers! Oh boy! I have some serious scuffing/painting ahead. Hopefully I'll be mounting these bad boys up next weekend.

                                        Nice! I wonder where Dr Leadfoot got these from... I had these same wheels on my e30 back in the day--and those blue caps look familiar.
