Would you be able give an approximate cost of painting 4 rims please. Thanks

I'm curious too, cost and method? Ie painted or powder coated?

Any more pics of the car?

When I had it quoted was $90-110 a wheel

Powder coating isn't a good idea - if it scratches it will peel..

Assume that is 2pack and baked instead then?

I may be..

I did a set of D2 wheels at home, sanded, primed and painted rattle can Satin Black then rubbed and clear coated..

The more time you take the better the finish...

They're holding up very well under my Sons use (which has a lot less concern for clean lines and lack of scratching)

Did you decide Lukeis?
If there is one single thing i'd change on mine for looks only it would be the originals painted black. Everything accept for the wheels is black or gold...
