I did all the work myself...I don't know if you knew but I work at a manufacturing company so I get all the back door hookups.

That's how I got access to all the machinery and equipment I needed.

Tires dismounted: $12
1 15lb case of powdercoat: $45
New tires mounted and balanced: $50

Total project cost: $107

I needed new tires, bald at 32,000 miles, so that doesn't really count, you could do this and reuse your old tires if they're still good.

There is no other way to do this project right, it takes time and effort to do it professionally.
