Im sure it varies by who you get an estimate from and where you are in the country. But for me, it was going to be more expensive than buying new ones. I was going to get my Mickey Thompson Classic II's powdercoated black, and the estimate I got was $130 per wheel.

Again, I didn't invest much more time/energy into looking around, so maybe he was just trying to "rope" me...

You could use the spray on bedliner. I've seen someone on here do that and hey turned out really well. I just bought black wheels. The Kragar's are very affordable.

I painted the wheels on my last rig with some "Urathane Wheel paint" I got from the auto parts store. Sanded and cleaned my old wheels before I sprayed them. It lasted about a year, the winter really beat up the paint.

Default About $60 per wheel in AZ

I was going to buy black soft 8s and have them powder coated detonator yellow to match my Jeep. But most places wanted between $60 - $80 per wheel. So I just went with chrome soft 8s. I am in Arizona.
