I have thought about doing the same, either black or chrome. What would either cost?

the guy I know has a price of $125 for each wheel done up in gloss then buffed to mirror like shine. the labor gonna be whatever they charge you to uninstall the bearings/brake rotors and belt pulley then reinstall.

Bax, i go to the Wildprairie HD dealer in Eden Prairie and I know they send out stuff for powder coating. An average price is always good to know. I'll ask them who does it and how much. Now is the time to do this kind of stuff while all the snow on the streets.
