Default diamond black for recontrojan

The wheels came back today and the company repainted the wheels without forgetting to pay attention to detail. As close as they could get to the diamond black or hypersilver. Here are preliminaries. Can't wait until I get a new set of tires to see them on my car.

Default Wow those look great

Where did you have them done? The paint on my wheels is flaking off becuase the dealership did a bad job fixing them. I wouldnt mind getting them repainted like that if the dealership wont give me a new set of wheels (which they have in stock btw).

Default $500 ...

initially the black paint cost $500 but the workmanship was so crappy that the owner had the wheels sent out to be recoated and let me paint them any color at his cost.

Default I have about 4000 miles of tread on the tires i'm running,

probably in the fall. Hopefully I have enough patience to wait.
