45 seems high. I would have said it was 35.
Haven't you done it before Mark?
I've driven a good portion of the Blue Ridge, (all but the purple section), but have yet to do it all.

Just found this info: The speed limit is never higher than 45 mph (70 km/h) and lower in some sections.

Sounds like $75 is a great deal as long as the shop does a good job.

The lights were timed against me this morning. I have six traffic lights I have to go through on my drive in. Each one of them began to turn yellow just at that point where if you gun it, you're going to run the red light, and if you slam on the brakes, you're worried the guy behind you isn't going to do the same.

So of course I gunned it through each light.

...except for the last one. I was about to drop the hammer, then I noticed the police cruiser sitting at the intersection.

I learned the Frontier has really good brakes today.

It depends on the company, the amount of work to prep the wheel, the cost of the powder, and of course what amount of profit the applicator wants to make. I too have paid $75/wheel before, but the durability I got from that was questionable. The CR rims I'm doing now are $100/wheel + the powder, and the powder I selected is very costly because of the complexity and the gloss which is why I'm closer to $125/wheel all things added together. Make sure you see examples of this applicators work before you hand over a set of wheels. Good wheels can be destroyed easily if the sandblasting is not done right. And, I have to say, as I get older it just seems the age old expression proves itself to be right over and over - you get what you pay for. Good luck. Make sure you share before and after pics.

Guy on 8thCivic says he knows someone that can do it for $40 per wheel because the powder coater is a friend. When I asked for more info, the story changed

My experience calling places around the Albany area has been in the $100-$125 per wheel range. In no way saying that you cant get something done for cheaper. Pricing also depends a lot on what kind of color and finish you want is what I hear.
