^ How about not really any tracking but some spirited daily driving? Enough to ruin the wheels?

Define "spirited". Are we talking full-out touge runs or just some quick on/off-ramps and some high speeds? I don't believe anything other than extremely hard driving (touge, auto-x, tracking) would do any kine damage.

Oh okay.. Yeah because I have the diamond black finished BBS rims and did you need to do anything to them before you get them powdercoated? And how much did this cost you? I'm really lookin to do this to my rims. They look REALLY hot.
