which would be unfinished could be produced with the intent of letting the purchaser paint or powdercoat to their own special color. If not I will be in for the originals you were talking about earlier. Thanks.

Default He ended up selling the wheels for different prices..depending on when you came in...

I talked to him about doing something for the Audi guys..and he is VERY interested. I am gonna guess in the $600/wheel range..but I am just guessing. Retail price now is about $850/wheel...I think he sold about 35-40 sets to the BMW guys so far. I got the standard finish..others got other finished in a second offering.

Do you guys want 19X9.5 on all four corners? Does that fit up front?
