i called them and they said they couldn't strip my rims without pitting and tried to charge me like 400 after i got them stripped which seems way high

I know it's out the way, but Scott Morris in Yamhill has been powder coating for many years and does a great job! I had my Evo IX BBS wheels powder coated by him and they came out absolutely stunning! (Gloss Black).
The total was $320. The reason it was so much is because it's $40 per wheel to dip them to get them completely stripped which doesn't do any pitting obviously. Then it's $40 per wheel for powder coating.
If you bring it stripped it's $160... pm me if you want their number.

I don't have the car any more... if you want higher resolution let me know and I'll post them. There are a couple shots in here.

edit: here is a higher resolution shot. Keep in mind this was shot over gravel so there is an odd reflection. There wasn't any orange peel in the powder coating at all. It's just the gravel. Unfortunately this is the only shot I got of these wheels before I sold the car. If you look at the reflection of the brembo logo and the sky in the center cap you can see how smooth and mirror like it was.

damn, looks nice 
i'm just debating to go with a time attack look for my se or go gold. How long does he need it for and can he dismount tires?

What's the time attack look? (matte?)
He took about a week if I recall correctly. That included the dipping. I don't know if he dismounts or not. He has a ton of equipment there... might be able to. I bought the rims without tires so it never came up.
