Is $700 cheap ?

a quick google says powercoating wheels costs about $400-700. so that would put you at $1100-1400 complete, not including tire dismounting, shipping(if the place isn't local), and remounting costs. new work's are about 2000. i would rather have the new work's for anything over $1k unless i was planning on powercoating them a custom color from the very beginning.
