Well at 65 per wheel that's pretty much average price people charge, so now I'm open to any place.

Great shop as well as a place in Rocklin/Loomis area.
Not cheap, but neither are his results.

Its the heat that weakens the metal. I mean, its not impossible. You can still get them powder coated, they just wont be as strong
