I had places quote me $25 a wheel. Hey Aiden, you got my email right? I forgot to tell you in your PM...make sure they soak your wheels for a day, not a few hours. That coating on the alum needs a good soak to break down and some shops will try and cheat

thats a f%*#in steal! a friend of mine has his own powdercoating company and was gonna do a friend of mines 17s, all 4 for $500

as for 25 a wheel... something not right there at all, that would hardly cover material, and having to clean **** up. not to mention the guys labor. unless you already have them stripped down and all

I only paid 40 a wheel, and i have a toolbox and diesel tank that they did a few years back...holding up good.

I brought them in off the tires, just dropped them off no work on my part
