I disagree, like he said you can get a set for 7-800 untouched, add in the time and paint he has in them and the asking price he has is more than fair. And if you dont like it MAKE AN OFFER as the post states, or go elsewhere.
Pretty simple..

did the sandblasting take out all of the tiny ridges?
I just finished a set my self, took me probably 20 hours to sand down all the ridges. from 100 grit all the way to 3000 grit. did you ever look into finding a center cap to fit?

Not going to make me mad, I enjoy honest opinions. If they don't sell then the price gets dropped.
But comparing a 20" everyday wheel to a drag racing wheel is hard to do, I don't see someone putting these on their purpose built drag truck.
Also, 250 per wheel to 400 per wheel is a massive price difference in the wheel world.
$250 per wheel is right in line with most upper end 20" wheel manufacturers for these trucks. BBS, Method, Dick Cepek, Enkei come to mind.
Hell even American Racing doesn't sell a 20 inch wheel under 230 dollars for these trucks.
But again, I appreciate your opinion
Thanks,

yes sandblasting knocked down all the ridges. I did not sand them after the sand blasting because i wanted to keep the "raw" material look behind the paint for something different. So I prepped them with cleaner, primed them and painted them.
I think the "raw" look would have looked even better with a slightly darker silver.
There's are a few pictures in the photobucket that you can find if you look closely with them blasted before I painted them.
Center caps for them are Chevrolet 3.25 inch caps I believe. I was going to get center caps and use factory lug nuts with the GM plastic lug nut covers.
Another note if you don't like the color, it would be really easy to hit them with paint stripper at this point and paint them any other color you want, or polish them, they are completely fresh bare aluminum under that coat of hyper silver.
