It is a local shop, Apex Restoration. Great guys. They have a machine they put the wheel in that breaks the bead and compress the tire back a few inches. This allows them to paint all around the wheel lip. A huge savings and convenience to the owner of the wheels because they do not have to deal dismounting and mounting.

I owned the wheels for a couple of years and wanted something different. I drove my car to the shop and they took care of rest

Still though, when you drop $2k for wheels, you dont want to have to then take those to a paint shop and pay another $300. Oh well

exactly. and it probably affects the manufacturer's warranty on the original finish too, even on the part that you did NOT paint over...

Unfortunately it is not a good pic for me to chop due to all the color in the background. Need someone better with PS like Rotr8.

^ Pics on an 8 at this point will be hard to come by. I believe they aren't available to the public until sometime early 2011.

I too would like to see these on an 8.
