kevin told me that paint would be better, because it could be touched up if i were to **** up a rim. It looks great and i have not had any problems with the finish.

And if they are powdercoated, the lip can't be left exposed, ie no way to mask the lip

i think you can powdercoat the whole wheel, and then just strip off the powdercoat on the lip, and polish it??

Still looks better then half the black aftermarket wheels out there. But 800 does sound a lil steep, unless your wheels were really really f*ed up. I curbed one of my wheels. I should get that fixed too.
