got any pics of the progress so far?

 

PIIIIIIIIIIIICS lol i wanna see these wheels!!!

 

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.

 

there gonna look good looks like man goood s***t

 

So I finished the wheels today. Still need a good waxing and all but im waiting at least 2 weeks for the paint to fully cure. Here are some pics. Ill have them on the car saturday.
Before...

After...

 

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

 

Gunmetal with a polished lip would look good on your car. But the black looks good too since you have black moldings and lip with tint.

 

I've got to be honest I liked them more when they were red, but I compliment you on the work you've done to make them your own.

 

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
