Thanks, Steve. They'll suffice for now, who knows if I'll change my mind again and try some new wheels.

Don't do it! You'll never get the same Diamond black finish!

Very nice! I would've got them redone in bronze as well, had I bought these off you

Yeah that's what I keep telling myself haha. I wonder if they can just smoothen out and touchup the damaged portion of the lip

I'm sure they can, but I'd assume that since they can't match the diamond black, you'll probably see the color difference in the right light.

Do you think the NRG hub/release coupled with a deep dish would sit better than the straight wheel? Or was it too far away because of the Recaro?

Take the wheel to a paint shop, they would probably be able to do better job with some blending/mixing of paints than a powder guy.

The Nardi Deep Corn 350mm was the wheel I wanted originally and I still might end up buying it because I think it would be right in the middle of what I have now, and with the spacer added. I bought the Tuner because I paid $180 new for it since my friends shop had one on their boxing day sale, it was an impulsive buy.
