The story behind the wheels is this. I own an 88 M3 and wanted these wheels as they now sit for my own car. So I bought a very nice set of Style 5's and while they where being shipped out to me another set became available locally.
Thinking economies of scale, and with the idea that as long as I'm going through the trouble of reconditioning one set a second is no trouble at all, I bought the second set.
Even though I had estimates for all the work needed to be done the actual cost ended up being significantly higher.
I really didn't realize to the what extent until I added everything up.
I'm now looking to just recoup most of what I have into the extra set without taking a bath.
Here is the actual breakdown of what I have into them:
Wheels purchase price $850
Stripping Faces $75
Powder Coating Faces $200
Stripping, Painting, Polishing the barrels and Lips $600
Chrome Plating Center Caps $250
Painting Center Caps $100
New Emblems $25
Bolts $580
Total $2680
Of course I have a lot of time invested as well in disassembling, packing, shipping, reassembling the wheels. So now I have a lot of money tied up in two sets and really only wanted one to begin with.
Long story, but the long and short of it is $ 2700 is my best price for the set shipped in the continental US or $2600 local pick up.
As you can see even at this price I'm taking a loss.
