Usually it costs 110-120 per wheel for glossy black w time attack so thats 440-480 at best

grille shouldnt be more than 100-120 so thats 540-600 in total

I guess you could get a better price....

That doesn't sound too bad. How much does color match paint typically runs for on wheels? It might be a better option.

sounds decent with mount/dismount of tires.

i paid about $120 for tires, $320 for powdercoating wheels, and $100 for painting the grill. so thats about $540 without the red stripe which i know takes a bit of work.

Remember it depends where you live. In Miami cost of labor is more expensive that somewhere tampa lets say... But not a bad deal. just tell them 600.
