What about powder coating them ?

 

That would be the best way to go, if you have the money. Here in San Diego there are shops that will do them for $35.00 each wheel.

 

That is a great price. I called around here and it ranged from $75-100/wheel.

 

If you are interested in getting them powdercoated, I would suggest talking to the shop and asking them if they would be willing to cut you a better price if they spray them with another job...

 

Is that for a sand-blast + powdercoat, or just powerdercoat?

 

That would be for both. In order to powdercoat, you must first sandblast. The shop doing the work should have that already worked into the price. I don't know of any shop that would charge extra, unless the job was very, very bad.

 

I understand that I was just checking to see if that was included in the price, because you could blast them yourself if you had the machine.
