Different car, but i powdercoated my wheels with my dad in our garage... 2 weeks before i had an accident and sold the car off but i did get a couple pictures.
Testing the center cap (which i never ended up putting on):
dirty after driving a few hundred miles to a miata meet 2 days before accident:
I'm sorry i got crappy shots... but it's so much fun to powder coat, and they're so sexy afterwards
Jack's Yellow PC wheels look awesome in person... but nothing compares to Samurai Will's new wheels. They look incredible!

I bent one of my Hamman's slightly at the track one time and could never get the silver paintto match properly . I ended up powder coating them all and having the outer lip polished for good measure. It was a two stage powder coat called black chrome.

1. How durable is the finish?
2. Does it add weight to the wheel and how much?
3. What is the typical cost?
TIA

2. I do not think the added weight would be noticeable. It is basically thick paint
3. Mine were on the expensive side do to the nature of the 2 stage powder coat and the need to have them done as perfectly as possible for the show/ promo circuit. They were 160 per wheel for the powder coat and 90 for the polish lip.
