They were already done by previous owner.
Pretty much they were sand blasted then powdercoated, he then got new hubs and had them machined to fit the rims, then new tyres and white walls think he spent in excess of $1k including the rims.
Cheers

Fuel system including of surge tank, 070 pump, EFI Filter, new EFI hose, FPR
G161 is out getting a mild rebuild with dished pistons, moly rings, mild cam, hd valve springs etc
attached all the turbo gear to eachother ready to be bolted to the motor when its back.
cleaned the engnine bay and am rubbing down areas currently for touchups
going blowthrough so have all the weber gear on the manifold ready to be bolted on.
waiting for the motor now then bolt it all together. getting it to the exhaust shop then straight to the dyno to be tuned

I know i told you on FB.Sweeney wrote:looks killer man but that turbo looks f*#cking huge what size is it?
But for the rest its same size as a GT3076 apparently. but with a smaller rear housing for better spool. will be laggy but i dont mind.
