Anyone got any recommendations or any idea of how much it would cost?

Should I get new wheels?

I have a hankering for black 15'' holeys.

Its a little ways from DC, but if you can't find a place, http://www.wheelcollision.com
can do your powder coating and any wheel repairs.

I had a SSR fixed once and they did an excellent job. :smile:

Thanks,

From their website I am not sure if they powder coat, but I emailed them anyway..... Lets see what they say.

No one have a thought about black holeys on a pure silver cooper with black roof?

I just got an email back:

".......Typical costs for a standard, one-piece, painted wheel with a
clearcoat or a machined wheel with a clearcoat, run $125 to $185 per wheel,
with minor structural damage......"

So I am guessing it would be chaper just to buy some black wheels. But I want holeys.....

White holeys can be had for $200 or so, second hand. If I could get them done for a reasonable amount it would be worth it.

You might want to call them as you don't have structural damage.

Typically, I see about $75-95/wheel for just powdercoating at local
bodyshops. You might want to check local bodyshops first. They
can probably lead you to the powdercoat facilities. :smile:
