heres a peek at my "new" rims

took me about 1 hour per rim sanding and polishing paint etc..

 

Sweet mang good job!!!

 

I like it!

 

I need to get the dremel out and go to town on polishing up some of my brothers fabulous curbing. Either that or take it over to the powdercoaters and have them strip it and redo them in charcoal... or clear? Can't decide. Not that it would really matter because I don't have the time to get it done before ABF.

 

im a DIY kinda guy

this is mainly to test out how the concept looks

i know the paint i used wont last more than a year in seattle weather. so if i dont find some aftermarket 4x110 rims i will have them profesionally polished (the lip) then the centers powdercoated gunmetal and then clear coated all professionally



would cost as much as some decent 15" used enkeis but in the long run i would have some bad *** modified stock wheels

after i lower the beast those rims are gonna look sick

 

Looks great, what kind of paint didi you use, I think black caliper paint would hold up really well.

 

i used 2 thick coats of rustoleum exterior high gloss. ***** awesome for a cheap solution



i think eventually i will coat them in engine enamel then clear them.

 

all 4 rims are done, heres the pics on the car

 

first pic is stock ride height

 

Almost as cool as my Civic!
