Tire dismounting/remounting - $15 per tire @ 8 times ( 4x dismount & 4x remount)= $120
Cold strip - roughly $80-$100
Powder coating - Roughly $120
Total over estimated rough ballpark - $340 after bargaining you should be able to get them to $300 CASH easily.
Even though I'm over estimating costs, I would say you're getting a pretty decent deal since costs wont fluctuate much more than $20-$40 depending on shop. HOWEVER, the most important part is to MAKE SURE that who ever strips your wheels (shops often outsource this part) is doing a cold chemical strip. Cold chemical strips protect and ensure the metallurgical structure and compounds in your wheels are not altered or destroyed like they would be in a hot chemical strip. Hot chemical strips can cause and are notorious for causing wheel failure on anything from a stock manufactured cast wheel to high grade T6 6061 forged aluminum wheels. They literally crack from stress loads they would prior be able to handle.
These chemical strips are essentially what they sound like, a cold temperature liquid chemical strip, and a hot liquid chemical strip. The cold costs a little bit more because it doesn't need a heating agent to activate chemicals, where as the hot strip requires pretty excessive amounts of heat in order to activate the chemicals for them to do their jobs. This heat exposure is what alters the metal compounds in the wheels.
- I used to work for a large named forged wheel company that I'd rather keep undisclosed. hope this helps you and best of luck!

If i remember correctly this place doesn't do wheels due to oven capacity size. I think they specialized more in component parts for stuff like chassis and suspension and motorcycle frames etc. I could be wrong though and we simply didn't use them due to high cost, worth checking out or giving a call!
