Those turned out nice.

Hard to tell...are the lip anodized or painted/cleared?

Nice, Konakat!

I just created an ebay listing to run Sunday to Sunday. No reserve, free shipping, $1 starting price. I guess we'll find out what they're worth!

Allen, the lip is simply polished to the factory condition.

Current bid 1275, 4 days remaining, I'd say you made a good choice! (even though I voted for keep as is)

Yeah, you ended up being in the majority. But it was a Saturday (the only day of the week I end up getting anything done), and the first few replies came back that I should paint them, so I hopped in the truck and drove them to the refurbishers. By the time I got back, the majority opinion had changed!

Whatever, they look great and are going to make someone's car look fantastic!

If I hadn't just figured out my wheel setup and invested in mine, I would be considering those gorgeous fuchs

$1650 with 12 hours left. Now, I'd finally say I made the right decision, although I'm surprised that they're not going for more. Oh well, the market is setting a price...

I bet you're now crying why you didnt take my offer just kidding :P you made the right decision to refurb and ebay them.
They could have went for more, i agree...but the auction is still on...so there is still time.
