I am gettting my stock rims powder coated a gloss black soon. My only problem is that I don't have any rims to ride around on for the week that it is going to take to get them painted. I dont want to pay for rims that I am not going to use for more than a week. Any ideas would be helpful. The cheaper the better.

A set of Nike's or Reebok's is the only thing I can suggest, sorry.
...but I would like to see some pics of the wheel when you get them back. I've seen a set of powder coated torque stars before, and they looked good.

a friend of mine did them on his Jetta that is the same color as my GP and it looked really good and they come with a lifetime warranty. I just need something to use for a while. Nikes dont have the right bolt pattern.

Go to the wrecker. You can probably get a rim with a weeks worth of rubber for around $15.00. Then resell in local paper for 20 each

$250 for a set of torque stars!? Damn, I want some. Ed quoted me a set of used hipos at $425 bare and I didn't want to make him mad, but that's nuts for used stock rims. You get a better deal on nice used Bullits off a Mustang with tires on them.
ordonez, ours are 5x114.3, but late model Mustang rims (5x115) will work if you're not lowered.
