I think they came out pretty good.

there is a place called Shine Shop off Sunset and the 95, my buddy used them for his xterra wheels and they came out awsome, i will be taking my OEM 19's later this week for a nice powder coat. with out seeing them he quoted me $95 a wheel and that was leaving the lip untouched. with a day or two turnaround time

i was quoted like $60/wheel from this one place, plus an addition $150 for all wheels for clear coating.
and $40/wheel to strip the white paint off of the set of wheels I wanted to do.
arg. just trying to see how it'd look. So, stripped two wheels at another shop for $50, then rattle canned it... looks good so far. now to find two really cheap 225/40-18 tires to see if that's the route I wanna go for the G or just buy some Lexus Gs300 spyder wheels and toss some tires on them:
or
M3 wheels
or... if all else fails:
ADRs

Just got my wheels back from Shine Shop Awsome job they did very glossy which is what i was going for, only down fall is they powder coasted over the balences weights so when the tire shop when to balence the rims they had to pull the old ones off which left a line that isn't black but its on the inside oh well.
If needed i can get some better pictures up.
