Just in case anyone is searching for a powdercoater in the future, based on the recommendation here I did some research and my V7 JDM STi wheels are at RMS now getting PC'd gunmetal.

As far as I know he doesn't have loaners. It will be about 2 weeks total but I also told him I was more interested in a quality job vs. speed.

Still waiting on RMS and it looks like it will be until mid next week which puts the total time at close to 4 weeks.....not the 10 days originally estimated.

I got my wheels back yesterday and they do look amazing!

I'll post some pics of them mounted later but here is the inside which looks better than new
