It was about $500 for the materials, my fiances brother in law cut me a deal of course on the labor, I paid him another 1k. So my total cost was 1500. He told me it would have been around 4-5k had I taken it to the shop he worked at to have it done.

Primer was a "beige/tan" color. Almost the same color as the stock tan interior.

I hear ya!!! Wanna donate a few grand so I can get some? lol

In all seriousness, I needed some new tires on my stock rims...and a local guy had these rims for sale with about 90% tread on all tires. We worked out a trade, my stock rims and worn out tires + $250 for all 4 rims with good tires. So I essentially got the rims and 4 tires for less then it would have cost me to just replace the rear tires on the stock rims. In other words, it was a deal I couldn't pass up. They aren't my favorite rims, I would love to have some deep dish rims with a nice polished lip. Maybe some day when some other bills are paid off.
