Precision Powder Coating in Temecula.

Ask for John. He's hooked me up a couple times.

He has an arrangement with Mikes Automotive, right next door. Drop off the car at 8:00 a.m., Mike's pulls the wheels, breaks down the tires, wheels get powdered and baked at Precision, back to mikes for balance & mounting. I picked up the car before 3:00 p.m. $400 for powder and $80 for wheel work.

Well...I thought $400 was pretty cheap. That's for 18's...smaller wheels might be less. Just have to take it by there and check it out.
Be sure to say Chris in the Silver Volvo S60R sent you. Maybe you get a little break. I've done a few things in there, but I'm not tight with them or anything.

I look at it this way....thats less than what I would have paid per wheel to buy something aftermarket.

Not much...maybe just some trim stuff. Debadging, paint the grill, possibly tint the tails.

What color is your R? On the lookout for the black headlamps to swap out.

It looks just like your. hahaha. except my rim are not black. Same color and same springs that I don't like, inside is the same too. I want to get the TME's spring or the H&R's. Iam thinking the H&R are the same as EVOLVE?

The black head lights that you wanted was on EBAY.(non-R lights E-code)
