Hey guys I'm just wondering if $80 per wheel a good price for powder coating

thats about the average rate if you bring them the rim. A lot of places charge from 110 to 125 to powdercoat but that includes dismounting the tire, then mounting and rebalancing.

I see, from watching YouTube videos the wheels that are powder coated looks awesome.

If you're going to powder coat wheels make sure they know what they're doing. Powder coating essentially cooks the wheels and if it's done at too high a temperature, it can fatigue the aluminum and make your wheels weak and possibly fail.
BBS, Advan and Volk will void your wheel warranty if you have any of their wheels powder coated.
Stay safe.
