Quick Pricing Guide

Larger Wheels Please call
Set of four rims: 17-20” $400–$800 (standard prep + single-stage finish)
Custom finishes (two-tone, candy, metallics): $600–$1,000+ per set
Important Notes on Pricing & Services All prices are plus tax and are for loose wheels (off the vehicle) — rims dropped off ready for service.
Tire removal, reinstall, and balancing: $25 per wheel (added if tires are still mounted).
If wheels are still on the vehicle and require removal (e.g., at your location or shop drop-off), there will be an additional upcharge for dismounting and remounting.
Prices can vary based on rim size, condition (rust, corrosion, or heavy buildup increases prep time), and finish complexity. Larger rims or intricate designs may cost more.
What Is Powder Coating & Why Choose It?
Powder coating is a tough, dry finish applied electrostatically and baked on to create a thick, chip-resistant layer. We always start with professional sandblasting to strip old paint/rust for perfect adhesion and long-term results.
Better Than Paint Because:
Resists chips, brake dust, road salt, UV rays, and debris
Lasts years without peeling or fading
Delivers a smooth, professional finish—no drips or uneven spots
Why It's Worth It
Exceptional durability + hundreds of color and texture options = better style, protection, and resale value for your vehicle.

Bottom Line: For loose wheels, expect $400–$800 plus tax for a standard set of four. Add $25 per wheel for tire services if needed, and factor in any upcharge for on-vehicle removal. Custom work costs more, but the longevity and head-turning results make it a smart investment.
