Congrats. VMR makes good wheels. I've had my VB3's for over a year now and they are still pretty much perfect. The only bad thing about them is that the finish is really easy to mark but it sounds like you have that taken care of since your refinishing em. What color are you getting them done in?

I don't believe he got wheels. I think that is only a Photoshop. Only more pics will prove it because everyone knows only three pics can be photoshopped at once.

I literally can't post more pictures right now, since the wheels are not in my possession at the moment.
Now here comes the big hairy...
But, I'm picking them up this afternoon, so pics of the finished product will be up either tonight or tomorrow.
Then hopefully by the end of the weekend I can post some before and after shots.

I don't feel like I'm rushing it. The guy told me to come by either today or tomorrow. Hopefully this shop is as good as the body shop who recommended them says they are. I'd really rather not have to deal with getting them pc'd again.

So sadly, I was not able to take some time this weekend and take some better pictures.
But, I was able to snap a few shots with my iPhone (so bear with me on picture quality) just after she was washed.
Now, I know I'm going to get the 'drop it like its hot' comment lol, but other questions, comments, and concerns are also welcome.
Thanks a lot to Michael @ Acute Performance. He definitely helped me out a lot, and was a pleasure to deal with.
The wheels are VMR V718's 19x8.5 et 20 front and 19x9.5 et 22 rear, wrapped in Continental Extreme Contact DWS 245/35 front and 275/30 rear.
I bought them in the basic silver that VMR ships, and had them powder coated 'flat black' at a shop in Banning California, called First Place Powder Coating. They did a superb job, and were considerably less than any shop I received a quote from.
Hopefully within the next week or so I can get out and get some legit pictures to match the new wheels.
Thanks for the patience guys, and enjoy.
