Try Lo-Ko - http://www.lo-ko.com

They're in Alsip/Oak Lawn - 111th Street just west of Cicero (as soon as you get past the underpass/viaduct).
 
i'm a lazy bastard and have yet to call either place, but today i promise to let you guys all know how much both places charge. i was thinking about coating then a gun metal finish. what do you people think? give me some suggestions.......white is out of the question though.
 
yea i think gun metal will look good, maybe you might want to even go darker than gun metal? seems not that many ppl do blue and dark colour rims
 
bleh...dark blue would look tacky...people would make fun of you....OK, maybe *I* would....

Yeah, go gunmetal or that "gold" colour (similar to WRX/STi's with the BBS wheels).

I remember Lo-ko quoting me something like $50-$75 a wheel (which honestly isn't too bad); they'd do all the sandblasting with plastic media pellets to avoid any warping/damage to the wheel. Lead time was like a week for a set of 4.

Plus they're close/local....good to support local shops...
 
FIXRIM in arlington heights is $109 a rim. tons of colors and it's done overnight.
LO-KO is $75 a rim and is finished with a high gloss.

my uncle has a hook up with powder coating, so i'm gonna talk to him first. it may be a while before i get the ball rollin' here. i'll keep everyone updated on prices though
 
yes, please, let us know. i am looking to have me wheels redone, like a super silver type finish. *subscribes*

hMmm that's pricey. people have said they got their's done for around $40~$50 a rim. But who knows.. the places you've asked could probably have better quality.

Well, drop me a line; I'm going to stop by Lo Kote tommorrow morning (Tuesday) and see how much he charges for the two pieces.

They're plates, about 3/8" thick, 6" x 8" (just about). I'm looking for a matte/flat black finish.

If I don't manage to get them done this week, let me know; I'm outta town for the next 4 weeks come July 12th....

I can powdercoat those pieces for you. I have the matte black color in stock. I can do it for $45 for the both of them with prep work. Hit me up if your interested. I powdercoat in Palatine.
