Powder coat, ceramic coat, chrome?

Nice lookin' wheels gentlemen!

Ya'll must have some serious dedication to the appearance of your bikes. I'm lucky to wash mine once a month! : )

Might I ask how much the powdercoating ran you guys?

I haven't had mine done, but I checked prices with two shops locally and it was $50 each if no machining needed to be done. This was for a straight, non-metallic color. Price-wise, unless you do it yourself, you need to factor in rim and tire removal (and remount), new bearings, new rotor mounting hardware (screws, springs, etc). If you're going to do it, you may also want to do it at a point of when you need new tires or other service work that involves removing the rims from the bike.
