Got my wheels back from powdercoat and snapped a few pics of the results. They came out great, the inside, hub, and face all are perfect! They sure do look great with the black BBS center caps. 😃 Can’t wait to slap 'em back on the car. :tup: to buffalo finishing works ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/EclipseBlur/DSCF2204.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/EclipseBlur/DSCF2204.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/EclipseBlur/DSCF2207.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/EclipseBlur/DSCF2207.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/EclipseBlur/DSCF2206.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/EclipseBlur/DSCF2206.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/EclipseBlur/DSCF2208.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/EclipseBlur/DSCF2208.jpg) ---

ya i would really grind down that mounting surface, it will chip up anyhow once you put some tg on the lug nuts. and you want the mounting surface to be a flat as possible,but they do look really good ---

> [@strokingnova](#): > > how much to get something like that done Since they’re forged aluminum, the shop originally quoted me at $60/wheel due to the need for glass bead blasting as opposed to media blasting.
