    Hey guys,

    I am toying arond with the idea of getting my BBSs powdercoated white and since I need to get new tires coming up here I figure I better get it done then.

    My question is where is a good powdercoating shop around town? Location is not a big deal but I am on the southside so the closer the better.

    Take care,
    Reed

    Miller is right down from our shop. Tell him Matt at Ball Engines sent you. They are the best I have ever dealt with and very reasonable.

    +1 for Millers. They're reasonably priced and deliver in a timely fashion. What more could you want?

    Millers....They used to charge $45 a wheel with clear coat. Not sure what they're at now. Maybe $65 a wheel?

    Anyone know how much they charge these days to do a wheel?
    Media Blasting, powdercoating with clear coats on each stock BBS wheel?

    The stock BBS wheels fall into the same category as something like a proper Volk IIRC. The fact that it is a single piece forged wheel makes it a PITA for the powder shop...so long as they actually care about your wheel and their work.
