I've been wanting to do wheels and tires, really like the look of your's can you give me some more detail. Exactly which wheels did you get, I notice tire rack has two that look the same.
What size tires, and what type ?

I bought the rims from the Tire Rack: www.tirerack.com, and got the polished lips. It was more expensive but a much nicer look to me.

The end prices ($898, $938) are for a pair. There we are - cut your costs in half!
