If you really wanna see a thing of beauty there is nothing like seeing these rolling on the car all cleaned up on a sunny day.

I would polish the hell out of the hoops, they are not coated and that is what was done to mine. They are aluminum so they wont rust without a coating either.

I got the wheel torn down, cleaned, and put back together and ready for silicone today, fixing to go get silicone now and finish the wheel.
Unfortunately it was cloudy out so they aren't shining as much as they could but after a wax they are definately looking good.
I took the wheel apart, cleaned it thoughroughly, sanded the mating surfaces of the barrels so that they would sit completely flush, and installed all new bolts.
Enjoy
After a wax and put back in the spare room.
I will still try to get some pics in the sun for you guys

Wow, I wasn't brave enough to take my wheels apart...whats the torque settings for putting them back together? So, just torque and re-silicone them and done?
My centers are shot, there is some etching on them from who knows what. I will most likely powdercoat them gun metal gray and highly polish the outer rim

And no I don't know any shops in San Antonio man, I would just call around and tell them the level of wheels you have and ask them if they are prepared to replace them if they do not do the job right. If you have them do it it is better to not clear coat them as it takes away from the shine and all the components are aluminum so they do not need a coating.

$20 for a set of bolts for one wheel. Plus shipping from Canada of course. Just give Danny @ Fikse a call he can give you a price. The only crappy part is UPS charges you an additional shipping fee for it being international shipping that was not disclosed to me before I ordered and payed for all these parts....

You would pay $80 for bolts and probably about $30-50 for shipping. I really don't know. All I know is I was quoted a price then when UPS delivered my stuff I had to pay an additional shipping fee that I was not told, I believe that fee was $25, I don't know if that was a processing fee or if it had to do with weight of the items shipped. If everything is based of weight and size shipping should be cheap.
