| http://www.wheelsamerica.com/ - I was thinking of getting my rims fixed and powder coated here. $99 a wheel for whatever you need done...Paint/powder coating. I haven't been there yet, but reviews seem solid and they guarantee their work for life.
They are in Arlington heights btw |

Good to hear...I'm going to get mine powder coated gloss black & refinished. You can't beat their price or turn around time from what I was getting quoted at other places. |

Yeah when I called I got the same lady a few weeks ago...She really didn't sound like she knew what was going on. I called back and asked to speak with her manager and he was much more helpful! You might want to give that a shot. He also said he would cut me a deal for doing multiple wheels. Maybe we could get a group price since we'd already have 8 being done ?? |

Fuck if we can get a deal for multiple rims, I got 2 more to maybe toss in. I have 2 of my Chally replicas that I just want the curb rash fixed, no powdercoat. I just scuffed the lip a little. |

Wish I had 20'' rims...Unfortunately mine are priced a bit higher since I have to sandblast them first,then powdercoat...I will be doing this in the summer though(hopefully  ) |
