They'll look awesome imo...How much is it costing you to powdercoat the rims w/the lip??

45$ a wheel is pushing it but since they are taping off the edge thats fair cause th tpaing takes time to get right.
100$ a wheel is outrageous.
(used to work ina powder shop)
average price should be 100$ for 4 wheels or 25$ per wheel no masking work or sand blasting.
You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.
If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good. If you want it cheap and good, it's not going to be fast. If you want it good and fast, it's not going to be cheap.

HA!... $25 per wheel would be like a godsend to me, EVERYWHERE I've checked around here has been at LEAST $100 per wheel

actually, for $45 a wheel it includes a chemical dip and sandblasting and masking work to keep the polished lip. don't sit there and tell me it costs more because ive actually talked to the place on the phone and have an appointment setup to do.
furthermore.. why would i send you my wheels if its going to cost more doing it that way.

siueclipse i was actually speaking to the other guy(darktalon) that cant find a better deal then 100$ a wheel,
45$ for blast and dip plus maskin and powder is great.
are they acid diping it or just usging a strong degreaser? (most powder shops use a big cleaning line with jets n such and then dry it is why i ask)
good luck and i hope they turn out great do double check and make sure you get glossy or flat whatever your preference is there are many types of black customers forget about.
