Default Project plan 10 spokes to 35th le wheels!!

Well as some of you know I sold the zr1's, ss hood to go with a different look next year.. I have been wanting 35th le wheels but the dam price on them well.. So I did my own check it out 1 is finished another almost ready to spray... Going with a sunoco hood also,, I bought these from a member here for $175 the spokes were painted but no rash of bends!!

When I brought them home

When I started stripping them... It takes time but worth it! I still have to polish the spokes and wash it.

And I was able to order the right center caps through a dealer my shop deals with!!

Once the spokes are polished they will be really nice.. I need to do alittle more prep work on the others and will probly respray this one to get it better its not bad but has some crap in the paint I dont like..

Every 10 spoke has the machined finish. Strip the paint and you will see. (I didnt believe it either until I saw Chris strip the rim above)

When you have an avatar like yours, you really do have to specify.

thats he powder coating. Once you get that off they have a machined finished. I would do better tape lines and re plaint the black. From 10ft they look good but up close you can see the tape lines in even.
