Default How to replicate firehawk 10th aniv wheel

I really like the look of the gold wheels from a 2001 firehawk 10th anniversary. Can I get a set of regular firehawk wheels and pain them?

You would be better off having them powdercoated for quality and durability. But yes you should not have much issue.

That may be a bit tough without having one to compare it to. Maybe contact someone with those original wheels and see if they can get a paint code reading from a body shop?

I actually came across with a sale thread for these. Pretty much the first time I have even seen them for sale. With the cost of powdercoating costing at least $300 to try and replicate these... this might be a better option.

This is an old thread but I bought one original 10th aniv wheel. Will try to get 3 more chrome wheels and change them to gold. What do I need to do to paint over chrome to gold
