anybody know where i can get my wheels powder coated in so cal??

 

Olympic Powder Coating in Santa Ana.

 

2nd that, i heard they do awesome work

 

be careful, powder coating chips after about a year.

 

how much is it to powder coat all 4?

 

like $40-50 a wheel.

 

really??? i didnt know that

 

I've never experienced that. Powder coating is FAR more durable than paint.

 

Any Painted Wheel (Powder Coated or Conventionally Painted) will chip after "X" amount of Miles, especially if the Spoke design has the Spokes close to or beyond the edge of the Rim (Like the ADVAN "RS's" or "RZ's"). It also depends, in part, on how clean the streets are, in General, in your area.

On the total cost budgeting of your wheel project, don't foreget about the R&R and balancing of the wheels and tires which should be in the range of $25.00 per wheel and Tire combination in addition to the cost of the powder coating.

When I was in So. Cal I had several sets of wheels Powder Coated at "Olympic Powder Coating" and they did a great job. Just remember Powder Coating does not cover up any "Curb Rash" your Wheels may already have, so make sure you repair that before you have them Powder Coated.

Bob -

 

Just go to south coast mitsu, im almost positive its like 800 bucks for all four.

 

That's 200 bucks per, another quote said 40-50 per... am I missing something? Powder coating is usually cheap where I am at. But I dunno about SoCal

 

You shouldn't be spending any more than $400 total (that's a high estimate) To have the tires dismounted, wheels powder-coated, tires remounted and rebalanced. $800 is a rip-off.

 

Got mine done at Worco Powder Coating in Long Beach. Cost between $75-100/wheel depending on color and it also includes bead blasting which many powder coaters do not do in house. Details here:

Try The Wheel Supply in Walnut. They did my RPF1's on my S2K flat black with time attack lip and it was flawless.

 

there's RW Little somewhere around san diego.
