why are you set on powder coating them? I used the O'Reilly wheel paint before and it came out pretty good.

If you find a really great deal (and I mean REALLY cheap price quote) let me know. I'm looking to get my wheels painted. Powder Coating I know usually runs $$$... so I was considering painting them myself, or having a local body shop spray them...

If you're talking about stock 16s... I personally wouldnt spend the money to powdercoat them. I'd paint them and be done with it.

Be careful not to look for the absolute cheapest around. Search for quality instead.

Yeah I wouldnt spend the money powder coating usually its 75 to 120 a wheel from what I have heard. I would just try painting them yourself imo..or talk to a local paint shop but just look at what you could sell them for, and what you will spend in dismounting, painting, balancing etc... verses finding some used wheels, or new you can find some deals.
