Well here's the deal. The wheels are painted black over the solid chrome wheel. The scratches are from the air gun the wheel place used to put them on, so the guy offered to have the wheels repainted black for free, OR I can have them painted brilliant black to match the car for $50. Guess what i'm doing!!! I can't wait. Everything is taken care of, so that's good.
Hope your rotors don't warp from your wheels installed using only air. All wheels should be torqued.

no no, all 4! heh. He's making up for the fact that he could paint the black for free, or paint them brilliant black, which cost $50 more than painting them black, so I'm paying the difference basically.

Adam (my memory serves me right?)-
That is a DRAG. I really liked your last wheels; I take it you have sold them by now.
By the time you finally get the replacements it will be snowing and you'll have to put on snow tires! (I bet you are NOT in the snow belt)
Post a link of the wheels- I want to see what you are putting on!
Concern: These wheels weren't powdercoated one at a time. It is likely the replacements may be from the same coater, and may be prone to chipping, just a bit later than at the moment you receive them. You may want to ask for a rebate and get them powder-coated locally. It'll cost a bit more, but you can get them done exactly like you want, and at top quality.
The powdercoating you will get from a professional vendor will be WAY better than the quality of mass-produced coatings. Indestructable.
Agree. Powdercoating is near bullet proof. My exhaust headers on my TR6 are powdercoated and it holds up to the heat, as do the other parts and bits of the engine I had done.

$50 for all wheels to be color matched….great deal I would say. Glad to hear things are working out for your ride. It’s a beautiful ride worthy of having some great wheels…..good luck!
