De-chroming my Style 168 Wheels

Some of you provided me with feedback with a previous thread I started about Chrome wheels on a 4.8is. Well I decided to proceed with the purchase (2006 Imola 4.8is) even with the blinged out 168's. The deal was a good one. With Spring approaching I have considered selling the chromed wheels or refinishing. I've researched the refinishing and I am going to give it a try. Essentially it boils down to the shop blasting the chrome surface and then powdercoating overtop. One color layer and another clearcoat. Cost is approx $100 per wheel excluding rubber removal/install. Curious if anyone here has any experience they wish to pass along.

I'll keep you all updated on the process, the result and final costs.
