Default Powder coating rims

Just picked up a new and looking to get the rims powder coated black. Anyone have any recommendations in the south Chicago land area? Also if any companies are out there could you chime in on a round about price for all 4 rims they are 19's /w tires.

unless you plan on camping outside for a few nights... usually the process takes awhile between prep and the actual time it takes to cook. dont forget you also have to get the tires un mounted.

We now have a tire changer and balancer actually, so you don't need to have the tires removed. We can take the whole car as well. If its a pretty basic job, we can have it done in two days with proper advance planning. Best to just call me 847-561-4361.
