Pyramid Powdercoating in Sun Valley. But, if your wheels have chrome on them they'll need to be stripped first. Green's Tire in North Hollywood can strip the wheels for you $30 each and then send them to Pyramid for you. They work together. $60 each to redo the wheels in all black.

I believe LAPD used them to do their customers work. I'm sure you can google them and find their company website. I would 100% check these guys out!

So what I'm reading is it's under $200 to have all 4 wheels stripped and recoated? Nice!

The paint on my ZR1's is HORRIBLE and I'd like something more durable anyways.

FactoryReproductions.com is really starting to accept some poor quality from China nowadays.

The price really depends on many factors, especially color, plus you get what you pay for sometimes. My Ronals were stripped, powder coated pewter, then powder clear. Basic black or white might be around that price though. Check around, come up to the Valley and check out Andrews too.

Embee Coatings and Olympic Powdercoating, both in Santa Ana, and Specialized in Huntington Beach all do excellent work.
