    heh well i took the car out to my new house to leave it in my garage on jack stands.....needless to say the house isnt finished and i was told that the painters were going to be painting the entire 3 car garage and apartment on top. So i took it off the stands and put the wheels back on...:( its coming though i can assure you.

    Wow this is an old thread sorta...

    Got in touch of Wheel Wizard here in Atlanta asking for a quote on powdercoating my 18" P1's... $750.00 :rofl:

    For that price he better plate that shit in solid gold, that's damn near close to the price of new wheels.

    $70 a rim is good, but $750/set??? That's $187 a wheel!!

    I sent miller's an e-mail as well, I would rather trade wheels with somebody who got them that way from the manufacturer, but may have to end up spending the $300 on powder coating :devil:
