I went to The Tyre Factory in Seaford (should still be the same in Dandy), and they wanted $80 for 15x8 black steelies to fit my 60, and that included taking the tyres off my rooted alloys, and fitting and balancing them on the steelies.

Tyrepower outlets wanted $100ea (not inc fit & balance), Quickfit (Seaford) wanted $69ea (not inc fit & balance).

I priced 15x7's about 6 months ago and they were $60ea. Wasn't including fitting/balance though, just supply. SO i guess $80 sounds about right. But there was an add on here for bling bling rims starting at $90 ea :D

Black or white rims?

I looked for black rims to no avail, and white 15x8 were starting at $80.

Can you powdercoat over already painted rims?

Why not just get white rims and spray them yourself. A couple of cans of Gloss Black, and your done.

Wouldn't you have to get them acid dipped if there already painted so then u can powder coat them?

I got 5 15 x 8 Black Sunraya's(sp?) at Argy Tyres here in Newcastle for $70 each so x 5 $350 to suit my 60. They did say if I got 10 they would do it for $60 a wheel, as I had a mate who was interested. Shop around, quote quotes to whoever you ring and ask them to match or beat. All those prices were just for rims only.

Not if you do a proper job though...

Mine were painted ages ago, I've been on the beach numerous times and through the bush/mud/rocks etc.... Not one mark on them.
I did use VHT Acrylic Enamel paint though... cheap shite may be different
