Hey im looking for some quick advice, Im going to powder coat my rims and was wondering if anybody has some expierence with some shops around Santa Rosa, descent price would be a plus!

 

I like Wheel Techniques in Santa Clara http://www.wheeltechniques.com/

Pacific Rims has a good reputation
http://www.pacrims.com/

 

well if youre looking for local, Vader in RP does top notch work, Ive had them do a couple sets of rims for me, they are a bit pricey tho.

 

this place which I think is sister of sik industries. Super durable and smoooooooth looking powdercoat none of that dutch oven looking orange peel. These guys do showcars,bikes, etc.

I used to use this oooooldschool dude called moonlight before he had health issues and closed up. He could literally replace 8" huge chunks of missing wheel on cast pieces and have them looking new and balance better than out of the box.

 

Oh yeah - the dealerships use W/T to do their work.

 

^^So do some tire shops. I asked Big-O about repairing a set of wheels and they directed me to Wheel Techniques. They said that they out source all of their wheel repair to them.

 

can we just sticky a thread on this someplace so people stop asking?

 

How much does it cost usually? I was looking on wheel technique's site but didn't see anything that had quoting for it. I imagine it varies from size of the wheel to what crazy color you want. But what have you guys paid? Thanks

 

I took in my set of 18x7.5 Rota Battles in and I was quoted $620. The wheels are in terrible shape, they are bent, scrapped, curbed, and generally FUBAR. I am 90% sure that they came off a totaled car that rolled or something, but I love the wheels. I haven't had the work done yet but I hope to have them done soon.

 

lol yeah we had to send a customers (who was also friends with the owner) wheel there off his ferrari 355F1 after one of our tire monkeys absolutely raaaaaaaped the face of it

 

Damn^^ you could almost buy a new set for that much Jourdan. Lol. I'd be getting some 15x7s done, just paint though. Probably would still be close to at least the $300 range I imagine

 

That is the cost for undeniable love.

 

either that or create some kind of function whereby people can search for terms on the forum like "powder coating" to see if there has already been several threads on the subject in the past.




You would seriously spend $620 to fix a set of used and f'd up rotas?

 

Haha spending 600$ to fix a set of rota battles is a horrible idea, they aren't even good looking wheels...maybe if they were some more expensive/nicer wheels, but a set of 18x7.5 battles? Ha you can buy new rotas with that $

 

i called a bunch of places in the san jose area and in stock colors were 75-100 a wheel so 400 or less otd
