Painted '05 19" Wheels
Yeah, the lip is polished. What they actually did was this. They polished the whole wheel. Then painted the center. I was a little weary of polishing versus powdercoating. But there are a lot of concerns with powdercoating thin spokes and structural weakening. So paint was the best option. I've put on well over 10k miles since getting this done and they still look as good as the day I had them done, so I'm not too concerned with durability anymore.
Price was, as someone mentioned, $1000 total from F1Motorsports in Hollywood. However, the company that shipped my car out from Grubbs in Texas messed up my wheel. So I got some reimbursement. I figured, since they have to strip the wheel and repaint anyways, why not get it done the way I wanted to. **again, thanks Evo4Me for the awesome idea**

im really interested in getting my wheels polished and painted. can anyone give me some suggestions? i really like that black painted look. also thinking about Gold like the volk racing wheels. i have IP G35, so i think either black or gold will look amazing!
so they polish the whole wheel, painted them, and then put on clear coats?

BTW...these wheel treatments are TIGHT. Makes me wanna buy another set of OEM 19's on eBay and do em up with paint
Has anyone done the OEM 19's in gunmetal...?
. I have an IP coupe and would be very interested in getting my OEM 19's painted, they look good, forged, Ray's, and prett light weight. I was thinking gold or gunmetal, but gold might be too much for me, I'm more into the understated but agressive look.

I wish the paint color on the damn wheel wasn't so hard to figure out. I want to polish just the lip and leave the spokes the same color. The OEM 19's look so nice on the brillian silver sedans b/c the color is a perfect match. these wheels look hot, almost make me want to go with black spokes and try the contrast (silver/black wheels) look.
