Hey friends

I want to make my Gemini wheels black to better match my black model why.

Suggestions on a shop that does this at a good rate in LA?

Should I powder coat or wrap?

Thank you!!

Powder coating your wheels would cost around $500-600 in LA.

shops you recommend?

I would spray paint it myself. Won't cost you more than $100. It's not that difficult if you follow instructions on youtube. That's what I am planning to do with my gemini wheels. There is a shop in the OC that does swaps with powder-coated gemini wheels. You come in and they will swap it with your car. Factory Wheel Republic

If you don’t mind a silver ring around the cover edge, you can also consider EV wrap sticker, costing less than $100.

If you do not mind driving up to the San Fernando Valley, i have a good guy that can powder coat your wheels, but it would not be a same day turn around. Probably be around 2 days.

I can find out tomorrow, but prob around $650-$700, real good quality. He has a customization shop and did my entire ppf/tint on my MYP.

The carbon fiber pattern looks unique and cool enough to me.

I found installation is not hard but takes significant time & effort: at least 2-3 hours.
- I purchased the red center Tesla emblem separately
- seven separate strips make a full circle. 4 covers x 7 strips = 28 in total (

)
- I followed the instruction as in a Youtube video. You need a hair dryer...
- Save all the unused tapes as much as possible. These can be useful later. Those imperfection or installation mistakes could be easily masked/patched by small cut piece of tape; patched area nicely blends in and not readily noticeable
- Seller provides four extra strips that can be useful to cover up big curb gash. An insurance
