I know this should go in the wheels section, but I'm calling a guy tomorrow so I'd like a quick response.

I was looking at powder-coating the stock wheels black. I talked with a guy on the phone and he said he had to check a price on the glaze. Apparently there is a glaze to put over the powder-coating job.

My question is, what's the standard rate for powder-coating 4 wheels?

Thanks!

 

It cost me 300.00 bucks to have my wheels done.

 

I'm about to have mine done for $220 ($55/wheel)

 

A guy I know locally does it for $50 a wheel.

 

There is a guy out by me who does it for $35 a wheel

 

Around here 70-90 per wheel is the norm. Never seen lower than 70 locally.

 

i priced it in my town. the one powder coat place here said 300 for all 4. im just debating black or white because my evo is white.

 

make sure they know what they doing. they overheat and good luck to you!!

 

might want to check some threads here on what happened to their wheels after getting powder coated.

 

Oh, is it better to just leave them be? I'm getting a new set of rims next spring, but had an itch to do something now. These would pretty much turn into my winter wheels.

And thanks for the replies!

 

personally, ive always been wary about PC'g wheels...the heat in the baking process really makes me nervous!

 

This +1

There have been a few posts about ordering lower temp curing powders.

 

Guy here locally that does a set for $150...

 

The way I understand it is if its forged, dont powdercoat unless it can be baked at a lower temperature to not affect the structural composition.
If its cast, it doesnt matter.

 

I put 40k miles on my stock BBS with powdercoat and no issues with them
