no car but got my wheels back from powdercoating

My FD has been down for 3 weeks at the body shop getting paint (matching the factory red) and probably has another week and a half left, for this kind of time and money it better be looking good when I get it back! Any way, the wheels only took a couple days and I just picked them up yesterday. I think they look good in semi-gloss black. Cant wait to see them on the car when I get it back.

Clean them? What is wrong with dirty tires?

That cost me $225, I only got one other price quote of $265 so I dont know what is the typical rate. Of course it cost a fortune to get them dismounted then remounted and balanced so add another $50 or $60 on top of that.

Gad damn your REPU's bed is nasty as hell
I keep thinking whether to powdercoat my stockers or not. Eventually, I'm planning to get larger wheels & brakes. I guess maybe I shouldn't waste the money.

Quit rubbing it in, I want to clean it up but that is going to be one hell of a sanding project. I want to clean it up and put in Herculiner or equivalent coating, maybe by the end of this winter if I get my butt in gear.

That's the boat I'm in...I'll need new rubber by next year and should I get bigger tires and bigger rims (would look sexy)...or do I keep stocker's and get powder coated, nice brakes...or keep stocker's and just get nice brakes and have one mean looking slightly modded exterior FD? (99 lights and chin w/ efini everywhere, untained eye wouldn't pick up on)...also thinking of the fender turn lamps to go with the efini emblems to look more japanesish (if that's a word)

I need to stop reading this forum

*edit* thanks for the prices Tom and sorry for the
