WHOLY CRAP!!!
Why dont you just buy ISx50 wheels off ebay for $500 and pay $200 to get them painted and save roughly $500?
$1368 is pretty expensive

I know of places in SoCal that will custom powdercoat all 4 wheels any color for about $400 installed...

that's probably what sewell do anyways...powdercoat OEM wheels. It's really not worth it IMO and I don't think it'll look that good.

Those arent power coated. Power coating would make the rims shiny not flat. Plus it would probably hold up to abuse

Powder coating is available in shiny or flat....or even satin which is in between....but it weakens the wheels if its not done right...

Agreed! or like others said....get a set of stock takeoffs and have them painted or powder coated...again for WAY less than 1300....

Holy expensive batman!
If you really shop around you can get wheels powder coated for $50 a wheel.
I just had a set media blasted and powder coated for $100 a wheel.

How does a powder that is applied with a static charge and then baked and cured at 400 degrees for 10 minutes weaken a wheel?

well technically the heat could cause cracking in the rim or just affecting the overall integrity at a molecular level. it is known that powder coating weakens rims (or at least at a possibility) though the latest powder coating equipment runs at a lower temperature, thus being safer.
for $1400, i'd get myself at least some g-spiders or ISP's.
