A good rate for powder coating is $100 per wheel.

Put up a thread in your region and you might have better luck.

hmm 100 per wheel is to pricey.

over here in hawaii it cost 40 bucks per rim (basic colors white blue red black etc.)

u just have to pay for unmounting and mounting,

i wouldnt trust painting it because there a possibility it will chip unlike if u powder coat it the coat is strong.

Even if you are fortunate enough to find powdercoating for $40 a wheel, you still have to pay for dismounting, mounting and balancing for 4 tires, so you could easily spend $250 to powdercoat a set of stock wheels... which is just ridiculous. Not to mention having to be without your wheels for a few days.

You can paint a whole set for around $40, and be done in an afternoon.
