I called and spoke to Nick. He quoted me $240 if I remove the faces as well. Seems a little high considering he did yours for 250. I might see what wheel techniques just based on the price nick gave me
wheel tech will be pricey compare to RMS u can also check with Memoryfab
I think they gave me little less than 7 including 4 tires unmount & mount&balancing, reasemble the lips, mirror polishing outter & inner lips, fix all the curb rashes.

Yeah. he gave me a really good price on this set.. This was when he did the work out of his backyard. This guy has a powder coating oven in a shack in his backyard.. crazy.
Now that he has a shop... it doesn't surprise me it'll be more.
Wheel Technique usually quotes me about $165-185 per wheel. Plus they provide other services such as mount/dismount/ and others. So it depends on what you're looking for....
No matter where you go... try black chrome powder. it's like the Sport Design wheel color but slightly more grey.
Yeah I'm going to disassemble the wheels myself before I bring it to him. I just need to have someone remove the tires. I figure if I remove the faces myself, it gives me time to repair and refinish the lips. The disassembly and reassemble of my wheels should be similar to any other 3 piece wheel correct?
And would anyone happen to know the torque specs on the bolts on the face? I know CCW recommends somewhere around 42 psi on new bolts and 22 psi if im reusing the old one if I'm not mistaken. But I just want to double check
Thanks,

I pretty much have one other question. When i remove the faces on my wheels, I dont need to actually take my barrel apart do I? I could literally remove the bolts on the face and then remove the face, And then after powdercoating just install it the same as it was when i removed it and torque them correct?
I keep seeing these disassemble videos but they're removing the lip as well but i dont believe i need to do this.
