I powdercoated a set of stock 17" rims for autocross. $50 per rim, and they looked damn good. I sold them last year though.

50-75.00 a wheel depending on the coverage of wheel and wheel design.

My 18/19 GTs were around $300 for powdercoating, not including the cost of having the Run-Flat tires unmounted, then remounted afterwards. I would guesstimate it was $450-$500 including that.







Few pictures on the car:

a national forum probably isn't the best place to be asking for local info; either post up in your regional forum, or find a local forum. I would also suggest contacting local bike clubs/forums, as they get this type of work done often.

The outer lip area was done in the brightest silver that the powdercoater had; he could have polished them, but it would have required an extra 9 days and I didn't want to wait (added cost too, but it was minimal, like $130 total for all 4 wheels).
