Here's a thread all about the wheels for those interested in the details:

I had the rotors electroless nickel plated by a local plating company that specializes in auto restorations. They take the rotors apart, media blast the hats/hardware & 'mask' the rotor faces using a wax like coating so that the braking surface isn't affected. Everything else completely resists corosion.

Regarding the price, that's a good question. Jim and I engaged in a fair amount of horse trading for parts that I had, so I'm not really sure on the exact cost. If you were to have purchased one of the sets I had, the parts necessary to convert to this spec and then Jim's cost to build you would probably end up somewhere around $7k (correct me if I'm wrong Jim).
Thanks John - glad to see you decided to mount your set too... Look after em!

Cactizzle - see post #17 above. I'm not sure how the nickle plating process works (much like chroming, I guess). It works amazingly well & the finish is just beautiful compared with the painted factory coating.
Here is my thread from the 951 section:
