Wheel makeover
#13
I didnt take any since all I did was primer. Ill have some up tomorrow though. Probably wont be able to get them mounted until sometime next week though since everywhere is closed by time I get off work. Nothing can ever get done working 8-5.

Yesterday I did 2 coats of black on the wheels. Im letting them cure for a few days and then Ill wet sand, another black, and 2 clear coats. So heres some pics of the black as of now with the lips still taped up. The paint is still a little wet in these in spots so it looks kinda weird in the pics.
And the rubber finally came in the mail. Sumitomo 205/40/16s.

looks great man, looks like my rims but better. i think i will repaint my rims soon, thinking about keeping the polish lip since i put so many hours of work on them. so i think i might do them gunmetal with polish lip or just keep the current setup and do black and polish lip

If my car were white, Id have left them red. But im not a fan of red wheels on a black car. Ill probly end up painting them bronze in a year anyway. I get tired of wheels after a year or so. lol
