Powdercoating wheels?

I just called a shop and they gave me an estimate of $350! That seems a bit high. I read somewhere on here that a guy had his wheels done for $30 a wheel?! anyone else have powdercoating experiences they would like to share.

Standard GT500 wheels? Post pictures after they are finished.

Haha, I'll post pics once they're on the car. They should be ready friday but I won't have them on for a few weeks b/c my car is going to Eibach to have their GT500 prototype coilover system put on. I'll test out their new set up out for a few weeks then report back to them the results. I'm excited.

No I'm not having the stock GT500 wheels powder coated. I got a good deal on another set of rims that I hope will look way better

Most powder coating places here in San Diego charge $65/ea. wheel on average. I decided to go with Powder 1 in Santee, San Diego.
