I was quoted a price of $75 for each wheel.Extra to repair the chips and dings.That was me bringing the bare wheel.No bearings,rotors,tires,or valve stems.You'll need to find someone that is real good at putting tires on to keep from scratching the fresh powder coating.

for 100$ you should get both rims , brake and clutch levers and rearsets done. <-- is the price around my hood. Anything more then that and you should just buy a used electric oven (25$ on craigslist), a pc gun (50$ from harbor freight)  and the powder (6$ from harbor freight). If you want to do it yourself you are looking at about 100$ for all 3 things if you want to do it yourself. PC'ing is a very simple process as long as you arent restoring a rust bucket.
