Default 10 Spokes Painted BLACK Pics!!!
Next week tires and I'll take some pics on the car.
Thanks for looking



I wanted them all black but, they came this way from the shop and I like the 35th ann. style so, I keep them. Had to send one back for a small spot they missed with the paint. These wheels had some nasty curb-rash before. If my car was orange I'd paint a 01 on the door. GOOGOO

THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!! So what did you do sand them down, polish the face of the wheel, then mask off and spray it? I think im going to give this a try.

Yeah Um, I started to strip the paint for about a day and a half. Then I gave up and had a shop do them. Fixed the curb rash and straighten them out. Turn around time was 2 days. FYI these will be for sale with goodyear f1 tires as soon as I finish building a custom rearend and minitub project.

Did you polish the face and paint them or did you have the shop do it? If so how much did the shop charge for everything per wheel?

First time I quoted myself lol.
No polishing. Bare you can see there's a cast finish and a machined finished. Cast is powdercoated black and machined surfaces cleared. Shop did all.
