I had a set of 14" speedies done. Was expensive
I think it ended up being about 70 or 80 bucks a wheel.
I didn't really shop around though, just went to a place in Osborne Park near work, can't remember the name now.

Shop around from shop you can find in the yellow pages and you should find a good deal.

yeah, when I was looking at getting a set of speedy wheels for my L, the lowest I got quoted was $80ea at Tyrepower in Greenwood, that's brand new white ones, (they don't come in black:( ).

Never really a fan of powder coating rims.
Powder coat does not flex like paint, so a rim that is re-rolled will usually lose some coating, where as paint will flex and can be touched up.
New speedies are about $90-100, powder coating around the same.

i've got a set of gt rims .. they're painted black with a home job look alright and was considering getting them done properly... but probably just strip them own and give them another home job... cheers for the info though.
