They are your wheels.

Lol

Ganesh,

thanks, but we got our hands on a 2010 R3 for color reference.

Wheels are painted, and they look great!

Thanks guys for all your replies.

Next week John will be spraying my side skirts so he is already getting repeat business!

Anyone looking to get some work done should not hesitate using Apex Restoration. John and his crew provide outstanding customer service, produce high quality with a fast turn around. And they provide free Mt Dew and WiFi in the lobby while waiting for your ride

I know everyone loves pics so here are some before and after shots.

Here is the before shot




Drying outside after being painted and cleared






Mounted






The Paint code we used as a base to start from is RC (Its a Ford paint code)

We added a little extra to bring it closer to color of the 2010 Rx-8 R3 wheels

I am looking to do something similar to a set of RX8 rims i got ahold of that are damaged.

Any chance you can get me the formula they used for the paint color since a "code" doesnt seem to be available?

What was the cost? Mine need the lip repaired on all the rims, so looking for a gauge on what is fair price for just paint.

Im over on the mazda3forums, just joined here so i could post. Any info is appreciated.

thx
