Did you happen to ask?  What about the center caps? This guy wanted $120 per wheel to powder coat them!  Seemed kind of spendy but then everything seems a little spendy these days.  I would think that letting Centerline take of it would be the best option because I would assume they could take care of the center caps as well.  Would keep the warranty intact too.Pretty sure I am leaning toward the Eight Ball but the Grizzly might look okay too.  Tough to envision what they would look like if they were black.</blockquote>
