New 17" Wheels For my 87 TII

I bought the on ebay a couple of weeks ago for 280 shipped. They were brand new and white but didn't look good with my white pearl paint, so I painted the with graphite high performance wheel coating by Dupli Color. I used 1/4" masking for the inside of the lip to get as close as I could to the painted/machined line. They turned out great, people can't even tell they were painted. I took my time with them and let them cure for 4 days before the tires were mounted. Let me know what you think.

280 shipped for 17s? ebay is the best place for real deals. you probably can sell your stockers for $80 so its like you got those for $200.
