$200?

The wheels have been stripped, primered, colored, baked, had custom stickers printed/cut/applied by hand, and had clearcoat painted over the faces, had the lips ALL fixed of bends, and polished out. If anyone were to charge $200 for that kind of service would be ludicrous! For anyone serious enough, I can take care of you.
