Nobody likes my winter wheel setup. Boo. I thought they came out pretty kewl.
Thanks Ben. I feel validated. I'm a fan of powdercoat because it's like teflon. No wheel machine or fumbled wrench can chip or scratch it.
When I get the beast back, I'll update the full list of work its had to endure since deermaggedon 2010. It will be completely perfect (better, in terms of paint) but it's nuts. Thank you Fidelity and USAA.
I love it...titanium...my caps came out a little darker as had to be done at a body shop but looks fine in person. My TT wheels i have done in Nimbus and they look awesome...I will never go back to silver on these two cars.

There's a shop semi-local to me -- J&J Powerdercoating in Zion, IL.
Father & son business, sprint car racers, do lots of harley stuff. Not fancy by any means, but a smoking deal, $80 to strip and coat per wheel (Some other knob quoted me $250 each to strip and paint them!)
I would call around to your local shops and get quotes. Prices vary widely.
The place I am taking my spare set this week charges 75 to sandblast and powdercoat and 90 to sandblast, refinish(scuffs, curb rash, scratches) and powdercoat. They do great work.

Yes, for 80 they sanded out the nasty rash the original owner had applied to all four. They look new. They did say sandblasting the audi primer didn't work that well, it's really stubborn, they had to hand-strip them in the end or risk pitting the hell out them -- took a lot more time than they estimated for, but they aren't the kind of people to ask for more money than they said they would.

I like the M13's but probably without the ring bolts.....look kind of busy
One of those bolts at the top is sticking out!! Needs fastening!
