Stopped by Keystone today
Got by the local Keystone shop here in the Detroit area today (unfortunately they moved on labor day and haven't updated address on their webpage). Just as an fyi for folks this Keystone shop is charging to refinish at $100 per Mustang 10-hole wheel with a 2-3 day turnaround for an order. No quantity discounts unless you have 100s to refinish

I had mine painted @ $50/wheel. I am satisfied with the finish. Had a shop down the street do it. They are in Berkley, MI. Only bad thing was that a kid at Discount tire put a weight on the outside when I specifically asked for them to be on the inside, then realized his mistake and moved it to the inside, but chiped the paint on the rim!

Be careful on the powder coating ! To get clear powder coat to stick well on these wheels they have to sandblast them.
Which removes the poliched look, and it pits them bad, not smooth. I am doing my wheels now. I called around on powder coating, and they all said they had to blast them. NOT happening ! Sam's ( mustang kid ) Dad, Chris, gave me the following..... WalMart, get some AIRCRAFT REMOVER spray cans, around $7.00 a can or so. Will need 1 to 2 per wheel. It removes the clear on these wheels well. A little scrubbing and the clear comes off. You have to let it sit on there a bit, test it. I had an extra wheel and used it as a sample. Works well. The finish is very nice, smooth and clean ( unless you have curb rash ) Once cleaned, get a clear automotive finish at an automotive paint store. They can help you with the correct stuff. You can spray it yourself, or have a buddy that paints do it. I'm just doing the outsides. Scrubbing and cleaning the insides is all. They look like they came from the factory that way. Avoid powder coating if you want an original look ! Beats $130.00 a wheel !! john

Those I've had done were not powder coated, nor will the ones being done now.

Can't wait to see your finished wheels John! I'd love to try my dads methods on his '90 CHP. You can see how they look. Perdy right!   If we restore them before paint, this car will look twice as ugly. It is in good hands now though
