<~~~does powdercoating but I'm currently down right now. What does he need done? I'll see if I can get it for you rather quickly. The problem is my new workshop wasn't wired as well ad I had hoped. The first time I fired up my ovens and lamps I turned out the lights in the houses surrounding mine. I have to have my shop completely re-wired if I'm going to continue doing big projects...if it's just a couple of smaller pieces it should be a problem.

depends mainly on the color you want and condition of the rims. If I have the powder in stock it wouldn't cost much. The most expensive thing about powdercoating wheels is shipping and return shipping.

Since I have a Fed Ex account, shipping (though expensive) is not a hassle for me. What would be an approximate cost, per wheel? Just curious at this point....

no no no, dont ever use a gritty surface or you'll ruin the gloss.
I just use a spray degreaser on engine parts and some mid-high pressure water. Powdercoated stuff cleans easily.

just as soon as I can get my shop re-wired.
p.s. I wish you sold mazda's bud. I went to buy my wife a new stang, she said she's given up on Ford and wants a mazda....I took her to buy an RX8 and she spotted a 3S hatch she wanted so now I'm shopping around on them. If you sold them we'd drive down this weekend and get one from you.
