Well, it appears that the picture doesn't want to open!? My apologies, I will try to figure out how to make this work.

Look great, good color choice, the contrast looks good. I wonder how it would look if you had the window surrounds painted to match the wheels.
I am looking to get my Sentas refurbished, did they straighten them, did they remove bolts to paint, did they remove old paint, did they use powdercoat or paint, and how much did they charge?

As for the method used;
(1) They did not need straightening, however he did repair all of the road rash marks.
(2) He applied masking tape on each of the bolts, by making round covers and then he pinched the ends close.
(3) He sanded each wheel first, then used a denatured alcohol to remove any impurities.
(4) The paint was applied by airbrush, several coats, next he applied a clear "fixing" paint and last was several coats of clear-coat.
(5) the cost, $100/wheel Best $400 bucks I have spent in quite some time.

He came to my house so I was able to watch the entire process. This paid off, as I was carefully inspecting each wheel. I asked him to "touch-up" one spot that no one would have ever noticed.

Interesting! So it's a mobile service? I wonder if we have anything like that here!
I would gladly pay $400 to have wheels that look like new.
So I take it the little "nuts" are what he covered with tape? Why not remove them?
Also, is your XK modified for offroading? That seems like a lot of wheel gap!
Wheels look great!

The nuts were on too tight, easier to mask and I had the car jacked up, so it was a distorted view. Attached is the finished product

I had a quote from a mobile guy ( "Alloy Wheel Repair Specialist", they are all over the country) who does the work for my local Jag dealer, to remove curb rash and repaint wheels for $400 also. I asked if that included the inner barrels and he said no but he would clean them. It would take one day. My dealer said he does good work.
There is one near Arlington VA: www.awrswheelrepair.com/northernva
