Thanks everyone -
The guy said that it would be best just to do the entire rim including the painted part. Regardless, the price would be $125 per wheel. The only thing extra I am paying for is the paint. I just hope that when they are finished with them, that they look just like they did when new. Is there anything I should tell them to do - like it appears that the lip is polished and the laces aren't - unless that's just the way they look now since they are oxidized.

After I started working on my rims. I found out the lip had a clear cost on it. I completely removed it and just polished out the aluminum and the results were great. Since this car isnt driven in rain or snow it should last a long time.

I would clear the machined face of the lace part and mask the lip.

Not really helping here but lemme just say I'm so jealous of you guys. I love xlaces. Very nice looking rims you have here. I gotta get a 1st gen w GP, black, get some xlaces and have the whole rim powdercoated black. Then wrapped in white letter bf goodrich tires, mmmmm. Oh by the way, maybe one of you guys could help. My brother had his front rim for his sport bike (3 spokes) powdercoated black from a local guy for $20. The guy did an amazing job. Would a GP xlace rim be similar in price? It's about the same size.
