For anyone wanting a ballpark figure, I priced this out in Northern New Jersey and Bronx NY and the estimates came in between 700-800 for powdercoating the 4 stock wheels.
does that include dismounting, remounting and balancing? That seems like a fantastic deal.

No problem! I'm still tempted to leave the Gemini wheels on, pay the $800 for powdercoating them and then pick up the induction wheels at a later date from someone looking to upgrade. Even once Tesla adds them to the shop, they will be premium priced (ie not $2000), based on the other wheels they have there. I was even entertaining some minty Uberturbines (21') for $3000 shipped to NJ from CA with wheels and TPMS. As far as powdercoating, my wife says "now is not the time to be going in and out of shops and getting stuff done, just pay the $2k and get the induction wheels which is what you wanted to begin with" lol.Appreciate the info!

I got my Gemini rims powder coated. I then installed Wheel Bands in an attempt to keep from getting curb rash. However, due to the lip on the wheels, I don't think the wheel bands will do any good at all. Any suggestions for a rim protector kit that will work with the lip of the gemini wheels?

I haven't seen any powder coated Geminis yet, but several people have used plastidip to make the rims black. I plan on powder coating in the next 2-3 weeks and have been quoted $120/wheel in the North Jersey area. I love a good dark gray wheel!
I'm not a huge fan of black wheels but they look great with the red trim.I got my Gemini rims powder coated. I then installed Wheel Bands in an attempt to keep from getting curb rash.

Did you mean 2700? Otherwise why would I pay you 700 more than my current offer? You probably just wanted to sneak in a classified ad disguised as a reply lolyou can have my mint uber wheels for $3700 i am in NYC can drop them off
Best bet is to go to Facebook Marketplace and search for powder coat. A lot of the places that do car wraps also do powder coating wheels, painting calipers OR they have a shop they send those out to. iLLmatic Wraps is the NJ shop i spoke to, but Bozer's $120 a wheel sounds like a better deal!!Would you mind posting where in NJ you can get them powder coated? I've got 19" geminis and a set of Ubers in my garage. I'm thinking of powder coating the Geminis for winter use, then Ubers come out next spring.
