Your wheels looked great in person. I didn't take a hard look at them but it suited the car.

i gonna have to sit through winter to figure out what rims to get before I sell them. I don't wanna be caught with no summer rims I'll let everyone know when i do decide to sell them, white is a ***** to keep clean!

I thought MetalCoaters was actually cheaper than that - like $200 for all 4.
If its the same guys I'm thinking of (in Mississauga)

They do great work - but only do minor road rash repairs.
Also, their turn around time takes a while as they batch coat everything. which isnt too bad - just expect to wait a while if you plan on coating them in a unique color.

I just called the guy at metal coaters the other day and said it would take 2 to 3 days.

Carcones is expensive from what I heard.
