I found these guys online. I haven't contacted them yet. They're kinda close to me, but I figure 50.00 a wheel is a pretty fair price.

Oh, I wanted to try the plastidip but no one locally sells it. I'd have to mail order it.

I know this to be true, but what do you use to "tape it off?"

Your old ones were polished too, just not as clean

Clean them up and run them polished, even with everything else blacked out bet they look good!

Here is mine cleaned up

Hey, how well does powder coating stand up to tire mounting and dismounting?

I agree with the plasti dip tho id make sure you like them black before powder.. Thats what I did and now am ready for powder 50$ a wheel is what the guys here charge... If you powder it and don't like it there's no going back

I had SS 20s that were coated black and they held up great! Most tire machines now make it almost idiot proof against scratching wheels.
