Str8 Rim in Granada Hills
Str8 Rim in Granada Hills
I've been looking to get my stock 18" powdercoated due to this:

And I've been searching around SFV and found a place called Str8 Rim in Granada Hills.
Anyone heard of or used this place?
I got a quote for curb rash repair and powdercoating for $130/wheel which includes dismount/remount/balancing of tires. They even have a set of Infiniti wheels to let me borrow while they powercoat my wheels.
Any thoughts on the quote? I know it's more than the $65 - $75/wheel prices that I've seen but this is close to my home and I don't have to be without a car for a week.
Thanks for all your input

Alright... turns out these guys are actually called Flawless Motorsport http://flawlessmotorsport.com/ and the owner, Victor, gave me a deal for $100/wheel since I did all four wheels. Right now I'm riding around in the loaner wheels with mismatched tires for a few days.
Their operation seems a little bit hole-in-the-wall, but Victor knew his stuff and actually sat there and talked my ear off about what other shops do to cut corners. I'll update with pictures once I get my wheels back.

Got my wheels back!
They went from looking like this:
(Acid stains)

(Curb Rash)

To this:


I know the color doesn't match, but I wasn't expecting powdercoating to match anyways. I actually like the look of the lighter silver with the accent of the center cap and from a distance I like the color.
I would definitely recommend these guys. Their work is good

No charge. The owner had a set lying around but they were pretty beat up from previous customers and the tires were almost gone but they were better than nothing. Needless to say I drove pretty gingerly for a week.
