I just got back from investigating powder coating my EX rims. It's a bit more cost effective, my quote was $125/wheel plus fee for removal and re-installation of tires.. so $150 x 4 basically. The problem however is, they needed my car for 3 days! We only have 1 vehicle (Telly) so the time it would take to get this done was not worth it (rental car, tax, etc). SO, now I am investigating new wheels that will fit the stock18" tires. Good luck!
