That looks great!
How did they do the polished lip on them? Did they just tape it off?

Thats awesome! I have been waiting for someone to do this because it is something I would like to do to my car. If you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost? and how long did it take?

Cool idea, I probably would have done them in white on that white car.

Looks real nice! Once I clicked the links I wasn't even able to copy and paste them, had to use IE instead of Firefox. Probably temp files or something, just a heads up.

The powdercoating cost about $125 per wheel, but that is because they had to fix some roadrash. This included the powdercoating, the custom cut job for the lip, polishing the lip and then a clear coat. The place that did them is called the hub cap and wheel store in Kansas City.

They did not tape off the lip, they powdercoated the whole wheel then cut the powdercoating off of the lip, and the polished it and clear coated it
