You will be in for some long tedious work restoring them yourself. I tried going that route and after doing one I took the other 4 and got them done. Cost was over 100 per wheel. You can paint them yourself with wheel paint, but if you want them to look like oem wheels it's going to be a long road. You will have to remove the old clearcoat and that will take many coats of paint remover.

Those sure look nice. I went and looked at the wheels again last night. And yes, the clear coat is trashed. I was planning on just sanding the crap out of them and painting black but by the time I am done, it might be easier to just buy a set of black Pro Comps.
I'm searching for a 15 snowflake to make a complete set of 5. This is a first for me in hearing there are several different offsets available for the 15s. Can anyone else confirm this statement? I hate to purchase a wheel that has a different offset from the others.
Personally I wish I went with 16's. 15's work fine and fit great but there is so much more tire choice with a 16" wheel. In either case I really like the OEM rims. They are well made and very sturdy. To refinish them I just sandblasted them at my local U-Blast and then used Etching Primer and Black wheel paint.
I looked at getting some wheels refinished myself, there are several places in Boise that do that. I think it was about 120 each. I have also done a set myself. Fair amount of work. I will tell you about it when I see you again. In fact they are on my space cab there in Boise. Done in 2015 and haven't touched them since. And it shows, but I didn't clear coat them again.
