^In all honesty, I think for $200, that is decent...as for that dust on wet paint feel? I have no clue what it is. Never had anything like that on my rims. Maybe it just needs more time to dry?

I don't think too many places will take the time to get into that tiny little crevice of the valve stem. I don't think even mine were done...as for that strip that was uncoated, you can go ghetto styles and use a permanent marker and color it in. I had to do that before with my powder coat lol

yea.. for $200 that's why i didn't bust his ***** for it.. it was just sad to see the paint chipped off on the edge of the rim.. i was thinking of using plasti-dip to cover it for this season and fix it up later on if the rest didn't hold up on everyday driving and save that money for my exhaust OR fix it right and get my exhaust later since it's out anyways... idk im quite indecisive about it haha

IMHo the ylook wicked nice.
I think a lot of those blemishes will most likely be covered up by the time they're installed.

For 200 you cant really go wrong. They look almost brand new again.
Honestly - it would be about 100 to rattle can them and they would look nothing close to this

I would rock em for this year - then get them redone another color next season

^ Ask Jan, if its only for dismounting $20 bucks a tire is a bit steep - considering as seanymack said its generally 80 bucks for dismount/mount/balance/install - or thats what I've paid the last two times. Tires23 and Go For Tire - try giving Go For Tire in markham a call.

Maybe workout a deal that you will come back for the mount/balance after for the other half

As I mentioned before.. I got mine dismounted for $20 cash (for all 4 and i have a set of 19's) at tires23... laksman, if I recall u purchased rims from them so I'm certain u can vouch for their workmanship.... t-pain, I know u live in the eastend but tires23 is located at 401 n Dixie...might be worth the drive?

I would recommend go for tires because the owner is my cousin LOL if you do go in. Ask for Peter and say Richard sent you from the forums and he will give you guys a cheaper price, anything you guys need at options JDM or go for tires either ask for Peter and say I sent you or just pm me and I can ask for you guys.
