    agree. i will be swapping it out, when the car comes back.

            I'd paint the mirrors. Hartge wheels+fresh diamantschwarz paint will look pretty sexy. :D

                    For a refinish dont they usually blast and cost the whole wheel? At 150 per wheel I think you got ass rapped.

                      don't know what ass rapped means, but ok.

                      the wheels had tires on it, curb rashed on all 4 wheels and dismounted and mounted and balanced again...for 4 wheels...

                      so if that is ass rapped...i will take it.

                          150 is a tad high since those wheels aren't 3 piece or anything, but the work looks quality esp for removing curbage on all wheels and a very nice finish. But including dismount mount and balance im sure tire shops usually charge rape for that crap anyways so you made out ok.

                            It has been a while since I posted an update on the car. So my painter sent these pics to me, via, cell phone pics (crappy, I know. I will take actual pics tomorrow). Anyway, he had to strip down to bare metal due to the primer lifting...

                            Anyway, here it is.
