the last time i powder coated my rims was by action powder coating, but i found them to be over priced, even though they did a good job and they dont let you keep the car there. does color life let you leave your car there? and how much do they charge

You can't keep your car there. You basically need an extra set of wheels. Since I use my stock M5 wheels for winter, I had them powdercoated one I got my 20's on my car. Their prices depend on the size of the wheel, the choice of powder and how intricate they are. I've paid anywhere from $80 - $125/wheel.

+1 $125-150 sounds about right and I don't know of a place locally that will allow u to leave the car with them. My guy on LI does his work overnights so the turnaround is only 1 day. I dropped mine Thursday afternoon and picked up Friday. I u need the info pm me.
