How much did it run you for the powder coating and spacers each? I always liked black rims on white cars, but for some reason the stock silver/black contrasted really well imo. Looks good nonetheless!

here in Las Vegas, they dismounted the tires , powdercoated the wheels and remounted and balanced them for $400 out the door. I thought it was a great deal, as back in Florida I paid 350 just to have the rear wheels powdercoated on my vette without tire removal.

What are the specs on your wheels. ie width, offset, tire size etc. Are you experiencing any rubbing? Love the black roof. Is it vinyl wrap?
