... well i just want them anthrecite maybe..

few questions

how long does it take? supose it depends on person doing them right!

another thing... urm i know my car isnt lowered that much.. but seeing as my 16's would be being painted... i have to put my old 14 inch standard alloys on it for few days,,do you think it will just sit really stupid and be not pratical? or will it be alright? i just dont know

because of payday! im debating wether or not the week before pvs to have wheels painted different color.....

should be easily done in a week, depends where and how busy they already are.

14s should be ok cause they have a bigger profile so rolling radius wont change a huge amount

Mine took roughly a day to be prep'd and powdercoated, dropped them off at 8 and picked up at 4.

Height wise your car should be fine on your old wheels, iv had 14's on mine and had on problem with any clearance.

Well, I sent my wheels off to be painted last Monday now and I still haven't got them back! But a full day should do it.

60mm & 14's will be fine. i'm 90mm and 14's

90!

well mine is only 30mm it was more of the steering and crappy wheels that im worried about.. ive got used to the 16's now! the standard ones where terrible..

tbh the guy would probably have them done really quick .. going to call him Tommorw to ask about price to...

need to take my car down there to get price for roof and passenger side door to be painted

Come to think of it, when my mate put 16's on his car he put the 14" rim next to the 16" rim, and they were prictially the same (There was about .5cm in it). So bieransri has hit the nail on the head
