If you are unhappy with the refinished wheels, and they won't match to your original, maybe you can get them to split or cover the cost of having to repaint the 2 other wheels because of the different finishes.....

I would make them cover the remaining two, at minimun split the cost.

I dont want to have the other 2 Factory finish wheels re-done because the finish on the Kahns are brighter silver and sleeker looking finish.

See pictures below

AFTER REPAIR

Original Kahn Finish

I dont know if you can tell but there is a finish difference.

These wheels took great. It is very difficult to tell the difference. It seems that it is the clear coat - shiny vs. matt finish? - Given that the "old" wheels are not damaged, it should not cost too much to repaint them the same. Note also that it is not unusual to see a bit of a difference because one is "new" and the other is "old" - once you drive the car a bit and wash it the wax on the "new" wheels will disappear - they will look closer.

Having said that if I were in your shoes I would have gotten the others painted as well. Your car and these wheels took great - so indulge....

Thanks.

RSCs i got of a guy from renntech.com $2200 shipped with tires

i spoke to the guys at Kahn they want $8000 without tires

i would check the boards my friend these are not cheap.
