DDH is correct.

I had the SDL wheels bead blasted as a courtesy at the shop I normally deal with. Then I painted them with the Z1 lacquer followed by the clearcoat. The finish is not as good as a professional job, but, from three feet away the wheels look perfect.

Total investment: about $60.00 for the paint.

Powder coat is much more durable and professional, however, you are looking at $300. minimum.

I would go the way Brian went, or go to a junkyard and try to find 4 nice spare tires.

Btw Tirerack sells brand new 15 hole wheels for $105 each, you can upgrade to the 16in 8 hole wheels for $129 each.

I wouldn't spend $120x4 to have a 17 year old wheel with 200k+ miles on it repainted.

I sand blasted and painted with Aluminum paint. Should have clearcoated but they look good form 3 feet. THey are my winter rims and the old Bunt-cake style. Refinishing is almost as expensive as new ones. Try Wheels America and negotiate. I got a great deal on 4 AMG rims. The one I dealt with is in Prospect heights or Elk Grove, IL.
