    Quys coatings (a club sponsor) has great reviews ,but is on the pricier side. Stripping Technologies has been used a lot, myself included. He has done a group buy annually for the last few years. A lot cheaper then Quys but some will debate the quality.
    If price isn't an issue I'd go with Quys personally.
    I'm having a set done in the winter by Gorilla coatings in Barrie, just for the mere fact they do good work and I live in Barrie.

    Quys. Quys is pricier than Stripping Technologies. Heard good things about both.

    Best Quality: Quy's Coating

    Value for Lower Price: Stripping Technologies.

    I have had 4 sets of wheels coated by the Stripping Technologies now (because of their attractive prices) and I am sad to say that my most recent/current set is a slight drop in quality.

    Cons: My very minor curb rash was not removed during the media blasting process (as it was on all 3 previous sets) and the back side of the rim, on the lip is badly chipped and jagged due to hanging setup/ racks/ dragging around a shop floor. I cannot stack these wheels vertically for winter storage like I have previously done for the other sets. Slight bubbling on 1 spoke.

    Pros: Price, Pickup at Nextmod free of Charge, amazing Candy/dormant colours, no chips/ scratches on the wheel face ever.

    That's just my

    From my experience they were ok. Reasonably priced, removed curb rash, but not 100% coverage of powder coat on one rim on the inside so it's not visible when the rim was on the car. The other three looked fine.
    Check out some pics on the net of all of them and you can see they all do a pretty good job.

    Agincourt Mazda wanted 850 to powder coat my rims in black when I bought my gen3, I believe it would be done by their partner body shop.

    Ah I see, yeah I went with it the first time around but that 3 got totalled and the second time around I didn't powder coat because the insurance doesn't cover the cosmetics
