I believe the turnaround time was 1 week. Max of 2 weeks. This was last year so I dont remember, but I dont remember waiting long at all.

Ok, I just called and they quoted me a price of $125 for all 4 wheels. That seems ridiculously cheap. But they said that it'll cost more if they have to do extra procedures. dknydiep, did you have to take off the wheels yourself or do they do all that for you?

Now my question is should I polish the lip? I am thinking of powdercoating my wheels black. Some places have quoted me $40/wheel to polish the lip. Is this something I can do myself like waxing the car? Don't I just buy wheel polish and apply it myself? Also, if I get it professionally polished, how long will the polish last?

I had to remove the tires myself, and bring in the bare wheels. I would recommended getting it polished by them. So far, the polished lip is still shiny after 2 or so years on my friends bmw.

Make sure you tell him I sent you! =)

They don't do polishing when I asked.
