I meant that most would just rattlecan them and call it a day but you went the extra mile and let the pros handle it which is great. They look excellent on yoru car. I just recently refinished a single basketweave myself with Wurth spray cans and it's hard to get proper coverage in all the little nooks and crannies. So I decided the next set would be professionally stripped and painted or perhaps powercoated but I hear that if the rim gets curbed or damaged, it can't simply be repaired with paint but would have to be recoated. Not a big deal with rims with polished lips but kind of is with solid color wheels.
Yeah, I.ve done that too. But good rattle cans aren't cheap, it's extremely time consuming, and not nearly as durable. Its not worth it in the end, and in 5 years these will still be like new.

here's a blurry, more settled suspension snapshot:
Not sure if/when I'll raise it up a bit. maybe when it actually starts to snow. right now if it were even 1mm lower I wouldn't be able to get a jack under the front subframe without driving onto ramps first. :p
