    Powder coat them white and youll have the look I originally wanted (before I got stuck with the grey color)

    Man, I want to power coat mines too black/gunmetal color. Anyone knows how much this usually goes for and where do you do it? Tire shops?

    I got an estimate of about $125 a wheel. Thats over here in AZ. I am not sure how that compares to other places.

    Ive heard that a good price is 60-80 a wheel.

    125? Wow, that's basically a new set of wheels if you really wanted. 60 sounds reasonable. Also, where do you do this; tire shops?

    I got that estimate from a wheel shop. I dont think any wheel in there shop was smaller than 22in. Sounds like 125 is over priced. I am still going to look around.

    I am waiting for my dealership to get my new wheels in. They are the stock GTS 18in wheels in chrome.

    Once I get those I want to paint the originals black.

    For that price you can get them powder coated and they will last a heck of a lot longer.
