A while ago i did this but i have not drivin the car since i did it which was over a month ago so......heres some pics to just show off i gusse...

i used 1500* engine paint from advanced auto...gloss black..no primer no clear coat...just a good cleaning and quick sand

 

i still want something bigger though like a 15" wheel but diamond racing wheels hasnt anwsered me on my emails i have sent them!!!

 

i think im goin to do the same thing except ill primer an clear coat it

 

I did that to mine with a black powder coat. $40.00 per wheel and they look very good. I have those with some low mileage Yoko tires for sale if interested. Would let them go for like $45.00 each.

 

IF you have pics, PM me, I might be interested if you are willing to ship.

 

Looks awesome, nice FB.

 

i dont care for the black but it looks like you did a good job painting them.

 

thanks. its not bad for like $7 a can... the paint on my car is still holding up too from when i painted it last summer so..i think if i just keep waxing i wont have to worry about it

 

any one thought about polishing -se wheels. Ive been thinking about trying it but im not sure how they would look. I imagine they would look like smaller audi a8 wheels.

 

a step-up from polishing, quite possibly my favorite fb of all http://www.cardomain.com/ride/451551

 

yea thats the car were i love those lights, sleepy eye with the dual bulbs, perfect

 

dam i wish i had that setup of lights and engine!!!!!!

 

Jon's, (Vipernicus's42) wheels. Iridescent black powdercoat. I can do these for for 250, plus wheels , powder and shipping. One week turn around. I have spare wheels that I can coat to shorten your down time, you need to return your old ones. Single color only and no polished lip. polished lip, add 100, 2nd color, add 50. Pic does not do justice to seeing these wheels in full sunlight.

Sorry for the blatant advertisement, but I have too many projects to fund.

Here are my black wheels.

 

Hey I drove by that bridge today. went for an apointment with home land security officer and once I was done went to the beach and it was all good and then I steped on something and cut the living crap out of the bottom of my foot everytime I go to charlston something bad happens I think I will just quit going.

 

(thats why i said a step-up from polishing)

 

Im trying to find a place over by the bridge where i can take a really good pic thats close to the bridge though...maybe at night when the spot lights are on so it gives a really cool lighting effect.....

i found a dirt road that i could take to get practcally under the bridge and saw a 2nd gen down there just the other day..(construction people i gusse)

 

Something doesn't look right with the powdercoating. I looks like the setbacks where the lug bolts go aren't even coated, or is it just the lighting? Also looks like the back sides weren't coated, which would ruin the overall appearance. Not trying to bag on your wheels, just looking for clarification. If the wheels aren't fully covered, then I can see the $40 price per wheel. If they are fully coated front and back, that's a steal.

 

Ya it's all lighting and the fact that they are dusty from sitting for a couple of months. They are coated front and back. A camera flash does weird stuff sometimes.

 

I have the same problem taking pics too. Took numerous trys to get the irridescence on Jon's wheels to show as well as it does.

 

hey Rusty Shackleford, im digging that paint job on those wheels...i was thinking of doing that but like a silver...i also own a 1991 3000Gt and the rims are dull silver and i when to walmart and bought paint for the wheels and painted them..it make a huge diffrence...this was like 5 years ago and they still look good...i think im going to do that with the rx7...but nice Rusty Shackleford i like that.

 

Damn, trochoid and jon, those wheels look awesome. Something to think about after I finish all the safety-related crap I need to do.

 

Well, your somewhat local, come up and visit.

 

I am with you now.
