That's helpful - thanks. Did you find a CPO'd one or have your dealer CPO it? If so, what was the cost of that?

ayce - Those wheels are OEM as an option. They are Sport Techno Painted Alloy Wheels. Not sure what the MSRP is on them - maybe around 6k or so.

As for the paint -- umm.. I've only had these wheels on a short period of time ( did have a winter set of wheels/tires on).. I swapped wheels the night before I went to visit my brother down south. The first time I washed the wheels - I was rinsing the p21s off and noticed the paint coming off from just me spraying it with a normal garden hose.
Nothing high pressure at all - but I sat there and watched the paint coming off. I was going to start a new post about this (still might) but I think it's garbage when water from a hose while washing your car will take the paint off.
I've got to figure out if this is common, covered under warranty (seems like crappy worksmanship? I don't know..), or something. Well, guess that answers your question about how the paint holds up.. hopefully this isn't the case with all factory painted wheels.

thanks for the quick reply! i hope for your sake they are covered under warranty, I wouldn't think the paint should come right off from just normal pressure!
