Looks good - is it as smooth as it looks? I plasti-dipped mine (bright aluminum from gunmetal) but the rough texture makes it extremely hard to wipe the brake dust off.

Also, how long does the whole job take? Obviously you have to leave your car overnight which is the biggest issue for me... or you could take all the wheels off and leave it on stands, which is an even bigger hassle. ;)

I actually bought the 214's as a spare set and/or to replace my 215's so I was able to drop them off at the place, they usually take about one week total depending on work loads. In my case I had some issues with one wheel not matching the rest (guy didn't wait long enough for it to cool down before applying the coat) so they had to re-do it so it took two+ weeks b/c their load plus I was not in a rush to pick them up.

They do not accept tires mounted on the rims, they also sand blast everything prior but I'm guessing most reputable places do that.
