Cost to powder coat rims?
I was looking to get my stock M-Sport 19" rims powder coated black.
I asked a shop and they quoted me $850 to take the rims off my car, take the tires off, powder coat them, then re-install the tires, balance, etc. Is that a high price? They would also keep my car inside, not outside.

Seems like alot of money. At most I would pay 100 a wheel. Ask how much if you dropped off wheels, then as a couple tire shops for unmount and mount cost. 800 is ridiculous

^^^I agree, depending on where you are in CA, there are plenty of shops that do it for about $100 per wheel - New Year Wheel in Costa Mesa (near Crevier BMW) for one.

Does the $100 include taking off the tire, re-installing the tire... and storing the car in a shop for a few days?

Yea I wouldn't pay over 400 for all that. Like I said you might want to store the car yourself and just bring the wheels. But if you got 800 burning a hole in your pocket go for it.

$800 is not unreasonable considering they're doing everything from start to finish. I've had wheels painted and it was $500 ($100/wheel + $100 gloss) but that was me doing all the initial work and driving on some stock wheels. I brought them the wheels only. You figure $500 paint + $150 removal and mount/balance (non road force) + $150 storage of car on jacks for 3 days.

Yeah this price is quite high I figure it shouldn't be more than $100 per wheel to paint and then additional$25 to mount and balance. So any bring over $500 I think is to high. Prices out there might be different from here in Chicago though

There are at least as many shops here in SoCal, where customizing cars is a way of life. So, shopping around is definitely a good idea. Some shops are prone to charging the "BMW tax" (charging more to customers who drive cars better than a Honda or Hyundai)
