Default Where to get wheels painted

I'd like to get my wheels made into gloss black. Anybody know where, and for how much I can get this done?

Try over at Farley Customs. I think he does powder coating, or he could advise. However hes not always quick and budget for new bearings.

That looks so pro! How do you strip it down to the metal? Pain thinner? That looks really good man, exactly what I want! How did you get them off too?

+1 asking at places always gives good results, especially custom build places

Wideboy, Sorry, I meant the tyres and shizz.. How much did you spend over all?

Sensai, I will check them out and pop the question. I'd rather mimic wideboy if it's cheaper.
