Here are two of my 1991 Formula rims, they welded in the curb rash and dings, sand blasted them, applied 2 coats of bright silver and ran them with a diamond cutter on a CNC. Here's a pic!

Thanks! I'm still waiting on the other 2, someone sprayed too thick a coat of clear, and it ran..

OMG. I am in love. How much was it? I am working on getting my car repainted stock color and striping, and would love to have my wheels redone as well.

+1 for before pictures.
They look good. What was done on the CNC machine? Are those holes from the CNC? Looks awesome.

They cost me $150 a wheel. The CNC is how they machine the wheel down, they use a diamond blade.

I got my WS6 performance suspension centercaps painted the same colour, and clearcoated to match the wheels.. Pictures to come!
I want these on the car really bad, which tire should I go with? I'm looking for a bit of street performance, I don't drive in the rain, or the snow.

What's a good tire to use? I'm leaning toward of BF Goodrich T/A, I don't drive in the rain, and I don't drive in the winter..

I think the wheels come like that, he painted them, and then turned them down on the machine, so they stand out more.
