Anyone who really knows me, knows that I have severe OCD when it comes to my cars. I like them to look perfect and like new at all times. My Porsche Cayenne's summer wheels were in some serious need of help. I had curb rash on three of the four wheels and nicks and chips from rocks as well.
I was going to get a new set of aftermarket wheels when a friend of mine who had messed up a couple of his wheels while parking told me about Dylan's and then showed me his finished wheels once they were done and I couldn't believe my eyes. His wheels looked like brand new. I knew they were going to be the ones to fix my wheels.
A few days later I drove out to Dylan's to get a price quote. I meet with Mark and Dylan to discuss getting my wheels done. I was originally going to keep my wheels silver as that is how they came from the factory, but since there was no extra charge to change the color i decided to change them to black to match my black exterior trim.
Then a couple of weeks later I went back out to make an appointment to get my wheels done. I was leaning more towards matte black, but couldn't make up my mind. Mark showed me gloss and matte black wheels that they had done so I could get a better idea of what each option would look like. I ultimately decided on gloss black to better match my gloss black exterior trim. He was even honest enough to let me know that gloss black would be harder to keep clean compared to matte black.
I have 21" Sport Edition wheels on my Cayenne and Dylan's charged me $500.00 for everything. Tire and TPMS removal, fixing all of my wheel damage, stripping off the old paint, powder coating my wheels black and remounting them back on. They would have even powder coated my wheel's emblems to match, but I had already bought a new black set as my old emblems color Porsche logos were badly faded. I was even given a $20 discount for paying cash so I ended up paying $480 out the door.
The entire powder coating process had a one day turn around. If you drop off your vehicle by 9am it will be done around 3pm the same day! I dropped my Cayenne off on Sunday around 12 noon and went to pick it up the next day at 3pm.
As I approached Dylan's to pick up my Cayenne I could see it off in the distance. I got more and more excited the closer I got. Once I pulled up and parked I felt like a little kid on Christmas! I could not believe how good they looked and was so glad that I went with gloss black. That was how my Cayenne should have come from the factory in Stuttgart. Powder coating is also a great option for brake calipers and engine parts as well.
It has been a little over a month since I had my wheels powder coated and they are still holding up quite well. I highly recommend Dylan's to anyone needing to get their wheels repaired and powder coated. read more
