Can you post or link a picture?

wow, $1500 to powder coat? thats insane. thats a dealer i suppose. i would think more like $50 per wheel outside of a dealer.

[Fredvon4]

$50 is a tad low... in my area a pro shop will charge about $150 pre rim... there is a LOT of prep to do this and make it last... but you are correct the Dallas dealer is making a tidy profit per wheel...wink

"Wheel Wizard, Inc." in Richmond, VA re-finished a set of four Minilites for me for $600 the set: removed tires, dressed the outer alloy, smoothed the inner bead surfaces, powder-coated, clear-coated, re-mounted the tires.

Job done.

Wow, at last, something that we get cheaper in the UK.
I have had all of my wheels powder coated on all of my cars.
It always costs £120 for a set of four 16" alloys. (about $240).

There is very little prep work if you PC new wheels, just acid bath to remove the laquer and paint. Spray with powder and bake.

[SmartPassion]

$1500 sounds a bit excessive for powder coating. Sounds like the dealer "coated" his own pocket with much of that money. Good luck with the sale.

I had 4 rims for my Lotus powder coated for $50 each...

[MarkB]

I get mine powdercoated for free if I do the prep work. Nice to have friends in the business.

I had no choice as to the price of powder coating the wheels. This was what the dealer had added to the price for my "orphan" They are nicely done , Although, not my style. They also added Tinting and LoJack for a total of $3000.00 over sticker. I can not post pictures yet but I can E-mail if I am PM-ed. The last picture under "2 inch hitch installation" shows about half of one wheel and the post on Powder coating wheels from a Dallas dealer is exactly who and how mine are done. Gloss Black spokes and Blue metallic rims.
