Default A new look...

After a lot of "photoshopping" I went for it. The rims were starting to show some wear and I decided to go for a graphite color leaving the lips polished. These are a few pics taken today. Also I changed the wheel centers badges.

The pics are nothing special I will take better pics later.

Cool to see you finally had them done.

I remember that shop from years ago.

Who did the work and what did they charge?

I was quoted about 200 a wheel when I almost got my HP evo centers done on gloss black.
I'm sure you remember me asking for the PS.

Either way, it looks dead sexy CHAMAN!

GTFO....
Where?
Do you know anything about the actual process?
The shop I spoke with was concerned that the fake rivets would melt off or pop off. He also said the paint prep would take long causing the high cost. Masking off the lip etc... You got an incredible deal, they look freaking great also.

Locally, I live in Puerto Rico. I have known the body man for years and we have become really good friends, he is also my patient....
