haven't done it myself but around my area its about $100 per rim.

ive also heard of do-it-at-home powder coat kits where you can just bake the parts in your oven.

I think someone on here has a home powder coating deal. The problem is I doubt you could fit your rims in your oven. I hope to powder coat the rims on my restoration project, so let me know what you find out.

There is a powdercoating company down the street from me. They wanted $100 per rim and I had to have the tires unmounted prior to coating and then remounted afterward. At that price I chose just to paint mine.

My wheels are powder coated and hand pin striped. I get everything done for free so i don't know how much it costs. Also, what wheels do you have? If they're stock chrome they can't be powder coated.
