340 for 4 wheels sounds reasonable....I'll give Metal Coaters.ca a try during winter! I was quoted like 500 bucks from all other "rim repair shops" for just painting the rims! I'll rather spend 500 bucks on mods or a newyork trip rather than some stupid rims.

OMMMMGGG....ninja edit, they do chrome plating too, ummmm dark chrome work emotions Ummmm tempting lol

I'm interested and I can only make it out if there's no snow lol I didn't put on winter tires so my car sits in the garage most of the time

btw, I think powder coating should be diff based on peoples rims since the evos ones are forged aluminum vs gts rims which are alloy. I would expect there to be a price diff between the two lol and if the guy who does powder coating doesn't know the diff then I don't want him to touch it lol
