I take automotive technology, and our shop has basically everything in it, so i decided to strip one of my stock rims of the balancing weight, valve stem, and tire, so i can sand it down completely, polish the lip, primer/paind/clearcoat the spokes.
Needless to say, it turned out so damn good..

Time to do the rest, buy my new suspension, and stick them on the vert. I sold my 17inchers over this look.

PS, unfortunately, my webspace has been...removed? so if somebody could host it thatd be cool, if not, just use the link above

 

looks pretty good

 

Nice.

 

TYTY, cant wait to put them on with suspension

 

pimp dude, what color is your car?
M

 

damn, those look sweet. one hell of a job on the paint job. Almost look like a set of 3 peicers that I saw on an FC a while back. Oh, did I say good job?

 

Not bad :-D

 

wow, looks good, much better than the stock silver IMO.

i'll be picking up a set soon for my snow tires.

 

that wheel is too sexy to be seen with virgin eyes..

i've reported your photo as offensive

 

omg damn nice I personally was thinking about having mine polished throughout so that the brake dust doesn't get in all the little pits and valleys but this looks nice too!

 

email them to me

thx guys, my car is black also
BtW ty for hosting !

 

I thought you had more pics...my mistake.

I wish vert rims were 16"...those look sweet...

 

Damn that looks really good! Great job!

 

Looks excellent! I have very similiar wheels on my GTP, except 16x8"

Very nice work!

 

dude, those look freaking NICE... get some more shots of them, that doesnt look like the vert wheel at all.

 

Look great!!!

 

Man, if you ever decide sell those you gotta contact me first! That's right guys, i call first dibs!!

 

I did the same to my vert rims. I also have a black FC. We did them somewhat 'ghetto-ish' for now but once I get a new paint job on her I am going to get them painted with car paint...or some other paint that will look better and last longer. Those are really nice by the way. I just love the look of it. Your lip looks really nice also. Mines ever since I got it have had minor break dust stains....I got some out but there is a really stubborn one.

 

I wonder if you could get just the spokes powerder coated and not the rim?

 

I was actually wondering that myself.. But i figured a can of duplicolor and primer would be cheaper. Im in college...poor =[

 

I'm not in college and still poor...but maybe that's because i keep trying to buy stuff for my car? LoL.

 

What are your plans regarding the center cap?

I have a set of vert rims for DD on my TII and I've been thinking about doing the same as you. I was looking at the center cap myself and I think painting the whole thing would be too dark. I was thinking about painting the sopked background portion but then leaving the center hex part silver. Hope that makes sense.

Great job man!

 

Im gonna leave the center cap off, I think it would look too weird to paint it all black, and have that black surface in the middle of the centercap all black as well... I dont know, thats just me.

 

Nice.
