Great shoe!!

Greater rim!!!

Snook 10-27-03 04:16 PM

i like poping the center caps out from the back and makin them go flying

makes a cool sound too


oh you cant polish the inside of the lip now cause youll ruin the paint on the spokes...it does look good though

also remember that polishing makes the wheel look smaller....might be my opinion but when i polished mine completely they looked tiny

RxSeven1 10-27-03 07:12 PM

id paint the inner lip black too and just polish the outter lip. i did it to the stock 7 spokes on my 240sx

xstacy7 10-27-03 10:06 PM

Wow those are some good comments guys. I don't know about painting the inner lip because I just wanted the spoked to be black. The pictures don't do it any justice, it looks amazing in real life. That's not a bad photoshop I really can't wait now, the suspense is killing me. I think I'll paint the lip a better silver, clearcoat the whole wheel one more time, and paint the center cap black but leave the logo silver. Here's another angle pic... Thanks guys. More ideas will be appreciated. I'm also painting my brake calipers like my old 7 (red with polished mazda logo).

Oh and that shoe is comfortable as anything

Hey xstacy7- Can you point out the paint you used for your rims on the plasti-kote.com website? I was going to use the dupli-color but..

1. They dont have black
2. From your pictures, the Plasti-Kote looks way better.

Thanks

Shinobi-X 10-28-03 01:09 PM

Very nice job done on the rim(s). What color is your car xstacy?

Yes, paint the inner lip black and have only the outer lip polished.

Looks very nice

Cihuuy 10-28-03 01:36 PM

xstacy7 10-28-03 02:03 PM

Whoa that one looks pretty badas Cihuuy. I have another picture comparing it to the stock wheel. That stock wheel has half of the rim masked already so that's what that is.

As far as the paint goes. Here's something I just found...

My can has a red background but it is the same paint. In the picture you can see the actual can to the left of the rim. I can't wait to get done with these. So you really think paint the inner lip? I wanted the spokes to look "separated" like a 2 or 3 piece wheel.

Thanks

Jack

xstacy7 10-28-03 02:06 PM

Here's another...like I said the paint is not as shiny in the pics as in real life. I can see my reflection in them.

Oh and Shinobi-X the car is Red.

Cihuuy 10-28-03 02:12 PM

gunmetal...


https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...postid=2278376

xstacy7 10-28-03 02:16 PM

Cihuuy...howabout a photoshop with a better looking silver? I kinda like the gunmetal but I want a better contrast. Thanks that looks pretty good.

cabaynes 10-28-03 04:44 PM

please don't paint the inner lip, it will make the spokes look shorter and that will make the rim look much smaller. the way you are painting it is perfect.

BATMAN 10-28-03 05:19 PM

kinda neat............. powder coat is better since that paint will chip........

Looks good, but I agree, if all was black, would look even better.

Good job on em by the way.

TwinTriangles 10-28-03 11:08 PM

I would polish the center cap, Even though its plastic I would still polish it...:weed:

xstacy7 10-31-03 02:20 PM

Ok guys, I've gotten them on the car. They do look oustanding! I haven't gotten to the centercaps yet except for one. Check it out...

Thanks,

Jack
