Yes, that price is PER wheel not for the entire set.

If the sim bead lock isn't a big deal, you could hire a local powder coater to do them. A good powder coater will be able to do any color and any finish (gloss, matte, etc.). Mine ended up costing about $80 per wheel and they also painted the center caps to match.

I agree they are a little pricey but it all depends on what you, the end user, wants. I got them and have gotten nothing but kudos on their look but it was something I wanted for my H3. People spend oodles on money on accessories, chrome, "bling" to personalize their H3. It's all a personal preference.

Glossy! Still rugged, but they look really nice when they're clean.

Nice...the whole tire is so shiny there I couldnt tell if there was any difference in the rim!
I'm thinking about going with matte. There is nothing shiny on my rig so might as well stick with it. then I wont feel so bad for not shining my tires up weekly either
