How long did it take you to do this all together? Ive been looking to get my wheels done for the longest time. I was considering getting them powder coated but most places charge alot for that.

It took about 1-1/2 hrs per wheel. I cleaned the wheel really good first, then used scotch brite on them wet. After drying I scuffed them up with a fresh piece of scotch brite, then wiped them down with a clean lint free rag.

I agree, 19's are the best for the X!
