There is a guy down here in Salem that does good work. He is doing mine in the next couple of weeks. I think he is around $100 a wheel.

Ask them if they use the low temperature stuff.
High temps 400+ deg are used to heat treat aluminum. This can change the strength of the wheel sometimes.

I love Charlies... use to go there all the time, but I just moved back to Portland.


Good work they did.... I don't think they do much car stuff, but coating is coating really.

The color looks a little pink. It's a deeper kind of red though
