Powdercoating Wheel Question?
i just picked up my wheels from the powdercoater
and i was wondering......they also coated the outer part of the wheel that will be INSIDE the tire (not very weel either) - is that gonna be a problem?? do i need to hit that area with some steel wool (which will take forever!!!
) or will they be ok to remount my tires on to...???

Those look really nice, did you get them powder coated clear, or did you get the center powder coated black?
Unless it's like a big "glob" of powder coating on the inside I'm sure they will mount up/balance fine.

How much does it cost to powder coat 4 wheels?

so its like a whole new set of wheels - that are now MUCH easier to clean - for about $250 - including sandblasting...
however - i did give em a thorough cleaning before i dropped em off - 1 less thing for them to do - means cheaper in the end!!

i had em done @ HYTECH in inglewood - all you have to do is type in POWDERCOATING + your zipcode into GOOGLE and it should kick back a few local shops...the price should be close - if not cheaper - everything costs more here in l.a.

Thanks for posting the pics, I've called a few places and prices have ranged from $75 to $150 per wheel! I just want to get my aluminum wheels powder coated clear. I have an extra set that I may consider using for winter and really like your black/aluminum look and may go with something similar, I didn't know you could mask powder coating.

$75-150 / WHEEL!!
keep looking - nothing in l.a. is less expensive - but heck - if thats the case - it might even be cheaper to ship 'em out here - which is crazy - but @ those prices (about 50-300% more expensive) why not?!...jeezuz!!!!!
