This seems way high to me after seeing what everyone else here is paying. To those that got the job done for less than $500 what was included in package?
The paint I am getting needs to be mixed, it will be very similar, perhaps a tad darker, than the wheels that come on the 40th anniversary Z.

My $400 price for a set requires the wheels to come to me unmounted and just covers the refinishing, not mounting or balancing. Their price is a little high, but unmounting and then remounting is probably about 150, but if you let them take care of everything, especially with paint instead of powdercoat, they will be responsible for making sure they don't get scraped when reinstalling, and that would be worth the extra to me. Imagine if you took them to a tire shop after having them painted and the tire shop scraped one, that would cause a headache.
