Default Powder Coating Rims

I just got 5 rubi rims and tires and they have a few scratches on them from offroading and I was wondering how much would be a reasonable price to powdercoat them.

Has anyone powdercoated rubi rims? Any Pictures?

Thanks,

center caps still need to be sanded, primed and painted to match. black lug nuts bought from rockratz website for about $2 per nut. wheels to be re-balanced and mounted on rubber friday AM.

wheels were properly blasted then treated then coated so it's as good as it gets for powdercoating. I'll have to see how they last over time. Good thing is rattlecan fixes everything.
