All right, that is what I wanted to hear. Re-finished wheels are available online for $125-135. Any side view pictures of wheels on cars?

I've got 7s on the back with stock Box size tires 225/50. Front 6s 205/55. Pulled fenders and a FLAPS 5/16 spacer or it rubs the inside. Same spacers on the front to fill the hole.
Before I got the rear pulled I fit the 7s on front and 6s rear.

All of a sudden all the refinished wheels have disappeared on Ebay. Now the hunt will be on to find at 4th wheel at the same price. I picked up 3 refinished wheels for $375 shipped. They will be here Monday.
