Damn! I'm about to do the same to my mrr-gt1 wheels black face with polished lip, going to go with a gloss black lip, satin-black face and a red time attack on the lip. how much did getting your wheels redone cost you?
I was gonna do high gloos lip and satin face. Good idea, do it. It didn't cost me much, just @ 100 bucks fr the material. Local guy did it, but I had problems with the finish. He left a lot of orange peel on the finish. I had to water sand and buff out the powdercoat to a smooth finish.

Car looks great, love the wheels and calipers. But the discs are so rusty! i think mine are beginning to rust aswel, how do u remove the rust? Could you just wet sand with say 2000 & 3000 grit sanding paper?

No need to clean/sand away rust in brake discs. It will dissaper first time you use the brakes.
The rust you see here is from washing the car for the photo shoot nothing else.

The pic was taken after I washed the car. As soon as you drive and apply the brakes, the rust will be removed.
