I can get them finished, sandblasted and powdercoated for a lot cheaper than you think!

Wouldn't sand blasting it make the wheels weaker or it has virtually no impact? Also, most importantly is the cost...

wont weaken the wheels, it basically removes the top layer only giving the powdercoat better adhesion. Cost depends on the color you were looking for. Did you have something you would prefer?

It seems that all cool people have silver cars and black wheels..maybe i should do the same. How much did it cost you for your setup?

I say do yellow wheels. No one has done yellow on Silver .

Seriously, don't do yellow. I'd advise on doing black, gunmetal, or some darker shade of silver than the silverstone.

Otherwise, get a metal color...they'll look polished.
