Seems awfully cheap. Powdercoating generally costs at least 1/2 - 2/3 that price alone.

Google search seems to corroborated your statement. Wonder how they are able to do it so cheap.

Close enough, it's the thought that counts.

If you want my honest opinion, just buy new wheels - the cost to repair would be the same as buying a used set.

Wheel Techniques does a good job but not cheap, they did my last set of rims for powdercoating and costed me $600. I would say it's worth it to repair if your wheels are rare or really expensive but for OEM s2000 wheels, just buy one used online.

I have a set of wheels being refinished at wheel techniques now, granted they weren't bended though. I picked them because they were the closest. We'll see how it goes when i pick up the wheels tomorrow. Cost was just around $600 also.
