powdercoating was about 100/wheel. They had to strip the original finish, then powdercoat, then let it cure, then powdercoat again. The finish is awesome, and if you are on the fence about doing it, do it--it looks great IMO. Thanks for the thoughts on further "blacking" my rig up. I think I will look into the window tinting, black grill, and black rear handle.
