For us to dismount the tires, sandblast and prep the wheels, powder coat and bake the wheels, then re-mount and balance the wheels and tires we only charge a total of $325.... for any standard (one stage) color.

If the wheels are already dismounted and brought in to us, we charge $63-$68 a wheel.... for most any wheel, and almost any color you can think of.
you charge way too little. When I was doing wheels, I was getting 400 a set, unmounted and was turning business away. I don't do wheels anymore, just too much work for a one man shop where that man has two full time jobs. At that price point, I don't know how you can do it profitably, unless you have an assembly line type shop.
