this would be incorrect. it didnt even cost that much to FULLY polish the inner and outter barrels plus the faces. on my 3 piece meisters. its more like 3-400 for a SET and thats the whole wheel also, just the faces will be cheaper to be done. who ever quoted you that price was trying to rip you off HARD

Actually I'm not sure why he posted these on eBay. The deal is done, and I think the wheels are here in vegas. But the company headquarters is in AZ. Thanks for the heads up though.

Thanks for the input man. And in fact, we had the exact same train of thought. At first I was going to do the whole wheel, but after talking to the powder coater and the vendor, we decided to not do the lip and the bolts. Our logic is that we can always powder coat them after we do the centers if I don't like the lip. If we powder coat the entire wheel, we could never go back. Atleast this way I have a choice.

Yea good call. You could also do a crazy color on the lip later.

Okay. Well, explain yourself. Because I've seen these wheels on Lambos, GTR's, bimmers, so it makes me want to ask, why not an F? Honestly, they look KINDA like your rims. Black centers and chrome lip.
