The people I go to do great work, and pretty good turn around. They are located in El Monte. usually around $200 for a set of wheels. You have to remove tires and all that yourself.

That last pic, did you sell them on craigslist or something off the car before? I swear I've seen that same exact picture on some listing before.

I use them in my business and these guys are GREAT! They do a TON of wheels for a lot of the local shops too! Tell them the Stirrup guy sent you and they will probably hook you up with a decent price.

you should do it your self its really easy. you sandblast your parts. then you hang the parts with a wire. hook a negative wire from the powdercoating gun and spray the parts with a fine powder then put it in a over at 400 degree for 10 min to get them to flow..

ive done enough powder coating and its cheap its about $5 to $20 for a pound of powdercoating and you can do a whole engine with 4 to 5 lbs and the gun is about $40

when i did powdercoated my engine it ran me 80 to do the whole thing, the candy aplle costed
