Be real careful taking them apart. I've heard horror stories about people doing that. You take it apart and the rim itself goes into an oval shape and you can't put the centers back in. This like that. 
Let a wheel shop fix the curb rash and powdercoat them. Its not that expensive. Let me know if you want to do that. I can give you some people to get ahold of that do real nice work.
They will look nice on your car though.
Make sure the center bore of the wheel fits on over the hub on your car, since they came off a supra. You might need to get the little hub rings to make them work.

I can fix the curb rash myself. Nothing there that I dont do when I polish manifolds.
File them some, sand smooth and repolish.
I'm not gonna power coat them. I was just playing around with photoshop.
I cant wait till we have good weather.
