He said $80 for the centers, $400 for the wheels. $400 for wheels is not bad at all. Op I really like the first example pic you posted. I say go for it.

You could also just stip the clearcoat and go with a polished look.

The 400 quote was to get all the centers stripped and sanded then powdercoated satin black and all the barrels stripped and coated gloss black. The 80 for hydrodipping is just for all of the centers to get done. I believe they will strip them since they have to paint them before they dip them. If not I can strip them for about 20 bucks. I just don't think a full polished wheel will look good on my car since it is completely satin black

this gets my vote! just ditch the time attack stripe.
As for the carbon fiber look, leave that for real carbon fiber.

Good! They would look so bad *** with your paint! I added the red pinstripe to give you another option since you said you were doing the red/black theme. Some like some don't, but figured I'd throw it out there. Sorry though, I don't have any pics of them mounted, Dopefedz I believe is the name of the guy that owns them you could try a pm see if he can hook you up.
