RW Little was $65 a wheel and turnaround was pretty instantaneous, i think they had a slow week... they have color charts/samples on the office wall and more catalog colors... the price goes up from there...

Doesn't it say on the box of any/all Rays/Volks not to powdercoat them at any cost/reason?

North County Powder Coaters quoted all four of my 17's for 500. It was a 4 day turn around though. They like to make sure they get it done correctly.
Good lord, they better be for that price!!! I paid about $180 for all for about 2 years ago to get my ap2v2's coated in Santee/Lakeside. They were ready the next day.

andrew... i think that people that are having problems with wheels cracking after powdercoating are having the process done incorrectly !!

I spoke with Bill @ Enkei over the sema show and asked him about what he thought of it since there were alot of RPF1 having this problem... he was saying that enkei was looking into becasue every wheel that you get from them is powdercoated for color... wether its matte black or gold or whatever... he said these people having the issue must be taking there wheels to a shitty shop that is way over baking the wheel to get it back to the customer faster to get the money quicker... i can agree i have had wheel that i had done at RW Little over 3 times on color change in the past and drove themk extremely hard and had no problems... i think that its on a case by case basis ya know... otherwise wheels would be polished metal or painted only....
