Got the wheels back from the machine shop today. Holes were reamed from 12mm to 14mm and a new seat of 60* was set. Came out amazing, happy I went with these guys.
Trying them on my car this weekend just for a test fit. Monday they are off to the painter/polisher. Taken apart, sand blasted, powdercoated silver, lips fully polished and put back together. Hubcentric rings are being ordered on Weds.
Tires will be the final addition. Toyo T1-R's coming in early February.

lips will be bare?
That could be a maintenance headache. I had my wheels powdercoated and the machined lips do have clear powder on them. I don't know how much of an effect clearing polished metal would be versus machined, but have you considered doing the whole wheel?

yo das DONT be stupid, get the polished part powdercoated with a clear coat pcoat....it will last
for a LONG TIME pcoat is way better then paint clear coat.... it will make your rims shinier and deeper if you do the clear coat over the silver pcoat.....
also..... what color is your car? blue? you could also get a clear pcoat with a blue flake in it and it would be preetty crazy looking. the flakes are VERY VERY suttle....
here is super mirro red with a silver flake clear coat on top(two stage)
