Thinkin of getting my stock wheels poweder coated white...

You might want to post where you live if you want people to recommend someone close.

In my experience, you are going to have to bring the powder coater a bare wheel; ie. no tire on it. Turn around can vary but I would expect 3-4 days.

You can find used AP1 wheelsets on Craigslist for $200.

His powdercoating work looked pretty good but I'm no expert.
