You can always have them custom powdercoated. I've had a set of silver rims powdercoated black. It cost me about $250 total (granted, this was six years ago).

Powdercoating holds super well! Its as strong if not better than what you'd get stock on whatever other wheel.

As long as the cover is metal, you can powdercoat it.

Most alloy wheels are powdercoated from the factory, so it is perfectly suitable.

They have a huge list of tires for these. I have no idea what to wrap them in. What is going to be all weather and last the longest?
$418 for all four. I don't think that's a bad price.

Not really big on having 10 lug holes when I only need 4. Originally I was looking to cover up the lugs for a smoother look. But now price is deciding everything.

far as pricing goes.. u can always get great pricing through Discount tires.. just get hold of a manager and make a deal with him... lot of time.. he will make a deal happen..
just remember when u buy wheels and tires package deals... just be aware of the tires you are getting.. lot of time.. they will give you low grade, cheat A$$ tires..
