If you powder coat, make sure you pick a color that's close enough to OEM. (BTW, does anyone know of a good mfg/color for powder coating wheels to look like OEM?) Sandblasting, filling powercoating 5 wheels and 20 lugs cost $300.
Did mine on my 126. 20 (?) hole rims and although the color I picked looks silver enough, on the car they look grey. Two other modifications involved fixing the hub clearance so the wheel would fit on the hub and cutting down the center caps on a lathe to fit the opening, since the center hole was slightly smaller. Also, my powder coater did the ends of the lug bolts. First few times I took the wheels off, I cracked the coating on several lugs, then switched to a larger 6 point socket and lined it with duct tape. Works fine. Yah, the color is not OEM, but most people don't seem to notice. (But I do.)
