wheels painted refinished?

How much should I expect to pay to get my wheels painted or refinished (powdercoating)? Discount tire dropped my rear wheel on the face and it has like 6 bad marks on it. It's really bothering me. And I think I am regretting not getting gunmetal anyway. Then I can paint the barrels black and keep them looking cleaner easier

BTW I have VMR V710's in hypersilver right now.

I'm really curious because the wheels are pretty cheap in the first place and I think that it might not be worth it.

Also anybody have recommendations for a shop in San Diego area. I don't want to travel to LA. Too far and not worth it for me. I hate traffic.

For a single 1-piece wheel like the VMR you should not expect to pay more than $100 for powdercoating.

Per wheel? Or for the set?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure he means per wheel but I've seen 4 wheels done for less than 400$ but if you just want one done, I'm not sure how much they would charge.

Yeah I meant per-wheel. $60-80 per-wheel should be the sweet spot...anything less than that and I would have doubts on the quality of the powdercoating.

$100 - $120 / corner in my experience. That includes a full re-rounding, crack/ding repair, powder and paint.

If you're just repowdering and painting it should be in the $80 - $100 / corner range.
