For those with painted wheels

I'd like to know how much you spent to get your wheels custom painted? I've got a 5 spokes monoblock wheel. I'm thinking about having spokes painted GunMetal.
Thanks for the feedback.

It cost me like 185 a wheel to get them powder coated. Well it actually cost the tire shop that F'd them up 185 but yeah. I'd probably powder coat as the finish is alot more durrable than paint.

Yeah you definitly would want to check out powdercoat prices rather then paint. But if your still considering to paint im sure you can find someone handy and local to do them for a great price.

But agian, try to PC.

I might go the powder coating route if more durable though I was thinking it b a lil less. I'm bored with my wheels and I'm starting to feel like I should maybe just sell them and get something new all together. I'll check a couple of PC shops. Thanks for the input.

That sounds more reasonable.
