Thanks im looking around at all the powder coat places trying to find the best one, that way I do get what I pay for and I dont have to re due the powder coat every year or so. Got any pics of yours?

No, they were originally silver, the OEM powder coated Silver ones in fact. Which had I known it would cost an extra $35/wheel to strip and acid bathe them to get the OEM powder coat off I would of bought the chrome ones instead since they are a little simpler to do. But in the end it helped me get a solid foundation for the new black powder coat onto the bare metal.
