) I talked directly with a rep from U.S. Wheel twice now and each time they said that they can go as much as 3.0" (or was it 3.25") backspacing without needing to reverse the wheel outer (and thus becoming custom). If the Summit operator gives you s***, hang up and call back and talk to some one else, or demand that they get a US Wheel rep on the phone with ya. BTW, the Summit rep I talked with was super cool and petty much knew what he was doing. Anyway as to the finish of the wheel, if you don't get "custom" ones, they should come painted (black or white or whatever for whatever series you order). But, if indeed you order them with small amounts of backspacing and the outer needs reversed, and thus becoming custom, then they will come unpainted or "raw" (mine are sittin' in my shed in this condition as we speak). And as for a good estimate for getting them powder coated, if you have a Les Schwab Tire around, they told me they do it for $22 per wheel. I didn't wan to pay that, so I checked some local powder coat businesses and I got $20 per wheel... Needless to say, I ain't gonna pay that price when I can just rust-o-leum them for $4 a can and it shouldn't take more than 4 cans I think...
