I just purchased new wheels from www.hdwheels.com, because I wanted to go with different sizes, 21 front and 18 rear. I think bdorr sent his wheels to hd wheels for tear down/powder/rebuild .

Yeah, now that you mentioned it, bdorr was who I PM'd about the powdercoated wheels. I think he pretty much just shipped his wheels to them and they did all the work. Prolly why it cost so much.

I sent mine down there. Great communication and excellent job. I paid $1,010 which was half of my total mod project.

Shipped the stock wheels down and they disassembled, two coats of powder coating (base maroon with flat candy), reassembled and installed new nipples, and trued. The second coat cost an extra $200 - but I was going for a specific look.

I didn't trust the local powder coater with my wheels. HD Wheels specializes in this.

Took about 2 1/2 week total turn around time.
