Imagine if you took them to a tire shop after having them painted and the tire shop scraped one, that would cause a headache.

That's a great point, thanks for the heads up. I will probably go ahead with them, as they made me feel quite comfortable with their level of expertise.
I may have misspoke, but the wheels are still being powdercoated. The shop sent me straight to the place that mixes the color/paint for me to select the exact color sample I wanted so there will be no surprises.
I get them done the first week of Jan so I will be sure to post pics after, they will be similar to a competition gun-metal and I was adamant about them looking like they came from the factory that way after the fact, so hopefully they don't disappoint.
