Thats what I thought.....I don't have a lift here or the means to install the wheels...and I know I will take a hit getting the fender painted...but 5500.00 bucks for all installed seemed a little steep

I paint cars and bikes as a hobby. See if you can catch some painters that do side work. Alot of car dealers let there guys moonlight. You can get a cheap lift at sears for around 100.00. Get the wheels you want then take them to an indy to mount. I am sure you will save a bunch. I just painted a buddies 92 ultra classic materials was around 350. but I gave him the clear other wise with his paint choices it wouldve been around 500. It took him 3 nights after work to sand everything. I sprayed it in 2 nights just to give you an ideal on the labor.
