I got my entire bike powder coated for under 500 bucks so that's a pretty bad deal.

here's a pic of it

$125 a wheel?? Thats a real bad deal, there is a place thats about an hour away from me that does powdercoating super cheap, I haven't got anything done there, but someone I know took a set of full length headers and a bunch of brackets for his motor and got everything done for $25 or something like that. And the headers weren't some small ones, like the size of 2 of our bikes headers or a little bigger. I'd shop around before I'd pay $125 a wheel.

just ask your local bike shop they should know someone. and dont pay more then around 40 per wheel as long as your handing the rim to them, the'll charge you more if they take it off.

here is how i found it i went to local bike shop and they gave me that expensive guy $125 cause its the only one they knew so i went home and opened local yellow pages and found it in there under powder coat. now these guys they dont do allot of bike parts as that other guy does so i guess thats why he is expenc. But all i got to do is bring them bare rim and then come back in about 2-3 days so they said its gonna run me about $125 for the two wheels and the special order paint that i want
