    Looking for a fairly inexpensive option for replacing my wheels on my gxp.
    Clearcoat is in bad shape even after a good polish on 3 wheels and when I bought car used, it had one new wheel.
    Problem with the new wheel is that it's chrome plated. I have a price to have them powder coated at $80 each but they said chrome won't powder coat well so one of the three tires I really don't want to powder coat.
    Any other decently priced wheel options? I'd rather just sell all 4 of these and go another route.

    I also bought car with 18x7's all the way around.

    Chrome is too smooth for powdercoat to adhere to but a good sanding or bead blasting will solve that problem. The polished 3 with clearcoat will need to be completely stripped of any finish first as powder only sticks to electrically conductive surfaces.

    I picked up a set of 06 Dodge Charger wheels for 150 bucks. same bolt pattern, hub bore is 1mm bigger on the charger wheels and the offset is like +28, so a more aggressive look. 18x7.5 size.

    Thanks for some great options everybody. If all the aftermarkets I've looked at, I like those hyper blacks best. I am leaning towards stripping the three wheels that have bad clear and then polish/reclear them but if charger wheels really fit, I might go that route if I can find a set for 150. That'd be awesome!!!

    Still looking for wheel options on my "new" 2008 GXP. I do not want to run the stock chrome rims in winter salt conditions. A friend told me the earlier GTP rims that are 17" will work. Any other suggestions if I don't find a set of those?
