400 for wheels
300 for curb rash repair and powdercoating
800 for tires, balancing, installation, and alignment

You pay that much for a SUPRA WHEELS?

For that much I would of bought an IS300 rims or a Cobra Rims.
Looks a lot better too.

Supra wheels are in staggered fitment, IS300 wheels aren't..... you can't stretch wide tires over the IS wheels and they don't clear big brakes. I've seen perfect sets of twin-turbo wheels go for as much as $750.... they have more value than dime-a-dozen IS300 wheels.

you may want to read up a little more and learn a bit more about the car.

1) IS300 rims lack the width and offset to look decent on an SC, yes they will fit, but it will look like your on Pizza Cutters
2) Cobra rims... classic

and BTW- the Supra Wheels look good. Im really not a fan or dark wheels, but they look good and you had them done right! Also... you got a great price on those wheels

I guess that answers my question if the center caps can take the head from curing. Do u got the # for that shop? I need to find out where they got their gunmetal powder so i can order some.
