Yep..what he said. I will do a set of rims for $100. That does NOT include labor (prep work such as sandblasting).

If you had your rims ready to coat (sand blasted with aluminum oxide) and all I had to do was wash them down, coat and cure them, I would charge $100 even (you pay shipping though)

Had mine done at a place in Piqua, Ohio. Charged me $100 a wheel. Any color. All I had to do was pull out the bearings. The sandblasting was included. Just had my second set done. I paint for a living and to me it's worth the money. The prep work sucks on a wheel like that, the finish is much more durable than paint, and I they do a beautiful job. If you want the name and phone number of the place I had them done, I can get that for you. Just let me know. Don't know what shipping would be, and there may be a place closer to you that would do just as good of a job for the same price.
