Hi, Christian

Lou15 has done it before, but might over your quote ($50/60 each)..

I got quotes ranging from $80 - $120 per rim to remove gutter rash and restore the finish on some 17" GTR rims.

I sent photos to the guys at www.rebelwheels.com.au for one quote and they were very helpful. [email protected].

just a word of warning about powder coating there are alot of places that do it but you really need to go to a wheel repair place who knows the right powder coater.

reason powder coating is an art & if mix wrong or baked to long problems happen like chiping from stress (you know good powder coating when you can hit it straight on & it doesn't chip). also wheels need to be beed blasted (not sand) to give paint a good surface to grip (my ZZR1100 wheels are powder coated blue & you can smash then & no chips because they were done right)

i didn't mention it because the place i got my bike wheels done is a old friend but he is as slow as a squashed snail getting anything done & i don't know if he does car mags but his buss is spoked wheel repairs 9153 9700 peakhurst.

he has strip tank & beed blasting then he sends away for powder coating (he has some person he uses but he tends not to let on because he wants money)

before giving over your wheels to anybody ask to look at some they have done but most wheel repair places spray 2 pak & clear no powder coat.

hope this helped.
