The cost, if i remember correctly was .5"-2.0" wider was 200 per wheel, and 2.5" and up was 225 per. I'm happy with how they turned out, and will be doing the same to my 19's
link to company?? i remember asking about this a whie ago. please send me a link!

here's my contribution.. Rays OEM Track wheels sprayed in to graphite, with the lip staying silver..
And yes, TAPING WAS THE WORST PART OF THE WHOLE PROJECT!
I hope I don't get flamed *flame suit on* LOL

powdercoated or spray?
I spray'd... but now I'm thinking of powdercoating them cus I e-mailed the tech guys at Mackin Industries and they said since most powdercoating takes places in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven, it should NOT affect the structural integrity of the forged aluminum...
so crossing my fingers *crossed* I'm going to have the powdercoated the same graphite because when I had my tires installed, those idiots scratched my wheel :*(
