Hmmm I'm the anti bling type of guy. When you live in a area where cars are on 26s...called dunks I think. You tend to hate the bling!

Not one for Spyderlocks, as they look too Bling for my taste, however to each his own, since the JK is black with black wheels, perhaps a dark gun metal gray might bring it together.

Bout 600 for all 5. I'll find out for sure tomorrow. Matte black is pretty basic and cheap.

Powder coat starts to get expensive when you get into special colors and texture.

$600!!!!!!

Don't scratch 'em!

I would sandblast them and just take a rattle can to them. That way, you can touch up on the trail! Take the $600 and spend it on worthwhile upgrades.

Truthfully, I just threw a number out there based on what it was going to cost me to have 4 wheels powder coated from my old Audi. Being these are brand new and not quite as intrakit as my old car wheels, it should be A LOT cheaper.

I sent him a picture of them to find out what it's gonna cost before he picks them up at lunch.
