Powdercoating AFS Style 87's

Decided I want to get my AFS Style 87 20" rims powder coated either gunmetal (dark grey) or matte black. I have accumulated some scratches and have one incident of curbage up front that I can use this as an opportunity to fix. I finally used my spikes-spiders - they scratched the crap out of my rear rim lip faces (basically sanded them down). I'm trying to figure out why and If I can continue to use them since I don't want to scratch my rims again once I get them repainted.

Anyway does anyone have any pics of Style 87's powder coated darker?

Looks great - I think I am going to go with something like this.

What was the cost?

Are those standard colors? Any pics on the vehicle? I am pretty much sold on the dark grey. Would like to see matte or shiny black tho too if anyone has done it.
