Yea..., that's what I did. I searched for powder coating service around my area using Google. But the quote I received from them is a lot more expensive than yours.

maybe call 2-3 places, then say that you got a cheaper quote from one of the places ex 75 dollars a piece, see if any of the 3 budge? of course sweet talk them too, like you know i wanna get my rims done here because i hear you guys do good work and you appear very professional etc etc etc :P
