Thanks for that Jet147. I'll give them a call soon.
Is there a website or something that has different paint finishes for rims so you can tell them what finish you want?
See 3rd post above for where I got my Omanyt's painted - they're actually painted Ford 'Ego' which is a dark grey with metallic pearl through it.
Expect to pay between $120-200 per rim depending on wheel size, curb damage, paint colour/type etc.
Yes you can get them powdercoated much cheaper, however without starting a debate, a painted finish is far superior in my opinion (having had both done previously). If you want to go Shadow Chrome finish, i.e. VE GTS expect $280-300 per rim.
Hope this info helps.

I just did some research on car and bike colours i thought would look good on a set of wheels to be honest...came across the 'Ego' colour on the F6 Typhoon on a friends suggestion and went with it.
The metallic grey on Yamaha R1 or R6 was a nice colour, just do some googling to find a paint code and they can mix it up for you.

Thanks mate.
Such a hard decision because my car is united grey and If I go silver it's hard to tell what style unless you see it in person. Still don't know what colour to go.
A lot of these places will have quite a few sets in various colours and finished to have a look at, either just painted, or repaired to sell...and you can hold them in front of your car to see if it's what your after.
