I'd have to bring it to a friend's house, remove the wheels, remove the tires, store the tires there, borrow a car to bring the wheels to the shop, wait a while (by the sounds of it) for the guy to do the coating, then do it all in reverse.
Is there anywhere that will do it all at the shop?

i knew someone who was in your situation, but it was to repair/refinish not powdercoat. he went to volco and they put some used wheels/tires on his car while they sent his stuff to one of the repair places to get redone. i can't remember if there was a charge to borrow their stuff though.
when i was at greens long time ago they had a hoist inside the shop with a car on it. they said a customer left it there and rented something else while they worked on his wheels. again, i'm not sure of the details on how this is set up.
