Default powdercoating wheels in the chicagoland area?

Looking for a professional shop that does powdercoating in the Chicagoland area. I checked out Lo Ko already, wondering if anyone knows of any other shops?

Basically I have a set of polished aluminum z06 wheels I want powder coated leaving a polished lip.

wheels though? I've talked to a few places today and they all seem to do good work. Problem though is that they don't feel comfortable doing the polished lip. And that's the whole reason why I want black wheels lol. I'll try winning colors though, thanks

Wheels of America in Arlington Heights. They offer a lifetime warranty on the finish if you get the clear coat finish.

I have a buddy that works there so i didn't pay much at all for my re-chrome and widening

i believe they start at 130.00 per wheel depending on size.

Do a search on the web for there site.

cool, thanks Sam. 130.00 but a warranty is worth it then. Damn Arlington Heights lol, wow that's literally in my backyard.

They do wheels too. I've never seen them do a set of wheels but I talked to the owner about doing a set of ws6 wheels i had black with the polished lip and he said it could be done.

Already talked to them and they said they weren't comfortable doing the polish lip. Lo Ko was my first attempt. I'm definitely going to contact World of Wheels Monday though.
