Yea, its not for everybody. I dont think it looks like the hubs fell off because the rims are pretty damn shiny.

IMO, that is how all the stock FD (93-95) rims look like.

you should come out to one of the meetings. there are guys there that would probably blow you away with their knowledge of rotaries and i am sure they could offer some suggestions on how and what to fix.

Looks really good man, but i'm also kinda biased as I did mine in gunmetal a few months ago.

steve, when i did mine, i left the tires on and masked it with a plastic bag, whatever over spray i got on the tire i just scraped off.

Hey did you use paint that was a black/gloss combined? Or did you use two different cans or paint, such as one gloss one black. Just wondering because i saw the black/gloss paint and I wanted to know if it would have the same look as your rims. Thanks.

I bought the paint from pep boys and clear coat from advanced, the reason its so shiny is because of all the clear coat. It is still pretty shiny even w/o it... but of course you need the clear coat.

Looks nice...

How did you paint the lip where the rim meets the tire? When I did I had trouble getting that part painted to the quality I wanted.

Thanks
Jason
