actually i'm hoping to get it all done for under $200 in NH. the place for $250 is in lawrence,ma and they'll charge $200 if you already have them sandblasted.
as far as looks go, spray paint will look as good as the time you invest into prepping and painting. some have it come out very nice, but they spent alot of time sanding and painting. if your comfortable with that then go that route.

most places in LA will charge about $80/wheel for powder coating. ireally dont think its necessary. most rims are painted silver anyway. most shops will charge < $200 to paint 4 wheels, and theyll paint the entire wheel if you remove the tire 1st

^honestly i think your getting jacked if you pay more than $250 for powder coating some 15s. if anything some shops are charging more cause they realize it's a fad to cash in on. even the place in lawrence, ma (which if you know lawrence you know what i mean) is $250 coated and blasted. i personally seen a set of 17s done by them and they looked really nice.

ts a friend of mine and I am currently getting a set of 5Zigen rims done in gunmetal grey from him.
I have seen his work and it is good...wouldn't let him touch them or reccomend him if he wasn't any good.
