I found a place for 35 a wheel. 60-75 is a ripoff.

I'd like to see before/after pics of a shop that charges $35/wheel.

My friend got his camaro done in matte black, he got charged 140.

Quality is outstanding, afterall, powdercoating is relatively easy.

This figure is grossly innaccurate.

They just quoted me $125/wheel.

That includes stripping the paint (my 2011 OEM wheels), removing tires from wheel, powdercoating, and then mounting and balancing wheels when powdercoating is complete.

So yeah, $75 a wheel is not accurate. Unless you are dropping off a stripped wheel and picking up a painted wheel only.
