Not to undermine Strick, but if for some/any reason that doesn't work out, Glenn's Wheel Polishing has painted and/or repaired wheels for me at good prices. Don't know if they powdercoat, but might be worth checking. Low rent location by the airport, but they do nice work.

Sorry, man. Was worth a shot. Oh wait... I have a friend who recommended a local PC shop a while back. He's on the local MINI forum. I'll PM him, since it seems you're still looking.

$100 a wheel when I was in the shop in person about 6 months ago lookin at doin the stockers, seemed like they did alot of hot rod and harley parts

Mebbe the economy has them seeing reason.

I'll call em up

Hmmm... I've never looked into powdercoating, but my buddy says that shop is among the more reasonably priced shops he trusts locally. And he does frame-up restorations on classic cars, coating numerous parts in the process.

I'll keep fishing, though, to see if anyone else I know can offer a suggestion.

Hmmm... wonder if you could counteroffer $250 for the set & see if they'd bite. Worst they can do is say no.

My search appears to be over, I found a guy in north Brandon who is doing my wheels. He has an oven at his house which is modified to accept larger parts, wheels are no sweat.

I asked him If he wanted more business, and he said he had 4 kids to feed

Have not seen the work yet, and I wouldd not roll up on him like it was an overnite shipping facility, But the price is right

I'm getting black with satin clear coat

His email is : mandvtownsel@verizon.net

I'll have pics , (and a set of virgin MS3 wheels) posted soon

sweet, let us know

I have a contact in Largo that is powder coating a local fellow S2000 owner's rims for $50 a piece and that includes fixing any blemishes and mounting and balancing the tires back on the rims.

Very nice deal indeed, after doing the PC you can be sure his mounting will be careful

Not to mention thats a 10~20/wheel deal right there

 

[BillTheCat]

Glad to hear that. Eagerly awaiting the "after" pics.

 

[meicalnissyen]

Some examples from the valrico powdercoater

Well, my wheels are not done yet, but Mike sent me some pics of past parts he has done to post up here, I have some others, but I am at work, and cannot access photobucket

these are a highgloss radiator support and window moldings

 

[meicalnissyen]
