Default Powder coated wheels?

Has anyone had their stock wheels powder coated? I actually like the look of my factory wheels, but would like to have them in black. If so what is the going rate per wheel?

i looked into this myself and it can get pricey but the best thing to do would search around your area for a few powder coaters/ businesses that do powder coating and see what their prices are like.

Can the powder coating be done with the casings still in tact, or does it have to be dismounted? Just trying to factor in the additional cost if they have to be removed & then remounted....Thanks...

Needs complete dismounting to the rim, including wheel weights. Powder coating will need a metal temp of apprx. 350F. So count in dismount\mount\balancing in your factors.
