Watanabe Rim restoration
 
Hey, I picked up a set of two piece Watanabe rims today.

I am going to have them refinished. Any suggestions on what color I should powder coat them? I plan on keeping the polished lip.

This is the car the rims will be going on.

Thanks guys

you cant go wrong with silver. if your keeping the hood that color, maybe match the centers to it.

Repainting the hood to match the rest of the car. I lost the painted hood in the wind while it was being towed.:(

Ok so I had them sandblasted, and powder coated. I also polished every single bolt, I did not mind as 64 was gonna cost $3 a piece. I also bought head caps for the bolts.

I have also ordered Watanabe Center caps and valve stem caps.
