Default Powder Coating?

Thinkin of getting my stock wheels poweder coated white...
any suggestions??

also, do you know if theyll just take the car, unmount/mount the tires..etc?

the problem is, i dont have a spare set of wheels and i live in a townhome so id rather not have my car on lifts for a week sitting on a slope..
(id have to buy some lifts too!)..

or

if anyone knows someone selling a set of powder coated ap1/ap2 wheels for a good price

thanks in advance!

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.

Update - The guy below posted the place I used. Carolina Customs Powder Coating.

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