I need help from my E55 guys... Cause I know you guys have taste

Do you guys know how much it will cost to have my stock alloy AMG rims powder coated black? Im worried that it will cost a lot, and i can get a good price on the rims that are pictured here. First I would like to know what you guys think the powder coating would cost, and second i want to know what you guys think about these rims on my white E55 with black lights and tinted windows.

Thank you all very much for your input.

Would look nice but I believe powdercoating tends to flake easily correct?

I was under the impression that powdercoating is the best way to do it. I may be wrong, but thats what i've heard. The thing is, i love my stock rims. I dont think the rims in the pic would be anywhere near as nice as mine, but it all depends on the price.

If I powder coated my rims, it would probably void my warranty with my luck.

I have a good friend that used to race with me that owns a major blasting/ powdercoating business. I would say anything over $200 a wheel would be too much!!! They will look better and hold up under numerous conditions than any paint or clear coat could ever stand. Hope this helps give you a idea

Thank you very much. Now would anyone happen to know a good place in LA to d othe powdercoating? Because i really do love my rims, and i would much rather keep them than spend money on another set.
