I am looking for that Translucent Hyper Black finish from the first post and not the solid color like the TSW wheel.

How are the wheels finished from the factory? I assume that is paint?
If so, which is more durable? Paint or Powdercoating?

Sorry for my ignorance, I just want to be sure before I commit to one method over the other.

Thanks!
tkbr0wn, Justin from Prince Wheel is going to sign up on the forum, post some pictures and offer us a deal (if we can firm up some interest). He mentioned somewhere around $130 for the wheels, but I'll let him make that final call. He said he's already doing an ongoing group rate for the M5 forum, and he said that he gets about 1 customer every month from that forum. He will post up some pictures of work he's already completed, and yes powdercoating is a more durable finish! This could work out pretty well. I'm excited to see the end result!!
