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??

Powdercoat is 7 times stronger than paint.

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.
