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.

As long as you are going custom why not paint the normal Black part to match the color of your car? Imo that would be

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)

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.
