Message	I'll be brief this time - BJ @ Precision Wheel Works in Sacramento, Ca. is one badass craftsman! After consulting w/ him, I elected to change the powdercoat color from what was a BBS gold style (didn't match my paint very well) to a champagne gold w/ a silver pearl coat (matches my Zed very well IMHO)...and yes, they were actually powdercoated this time...not painted. Previous post for anyone not up to speed: [ http://twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2147250/Knowledge-is-powerwith-that-said.html ] He even powdercoated the inside, honed the center bore, & polished the inside lip edge - the details are flawless. I would reccommend BJ @ Precision Wheels Works to anyone nearby interested in a quality powdercoat job. He's the business owner, and also does a majority of the fab work. His price for what you see here was $200. each rim - powdercoat & polished lip/inset. Turnaround time was 1 week. I'll post soon w/ pics of the rims mounted on my Z.
