about how much should an average shop charge to powder coat a vehicle's wheels? (from your experiences)

thanks guys

Mine was 70 dollars a wheel... took 2 weeks...

The kicker is most PC places don't have a machine to get the wheels off... so be prepared to have your car on some jack stands for a while!

$75/wheel, took 3 days for the actual sandblasting & powdercoating. That's not including any dismount/mount/balance.
