nice, you taped it off real nice. care to tell me what you did and what you use? did you polish the lip too? it looks like theres no clear on there.

mr2na86 04-12-07 04:03 AM

yeah i polished the lip and use a dupli-color (GOLD) to paint the middle.
try to make like a after market BBS....
and it came out alright.

damn that looks awesome! is your car lowered at all? I'd love to see them installed, I hope mine turn out that nice

i have a question, did you paint the back of the spokes too? also what did you polish with and did you use a clear? im doing this in a week and wanted to make sure i did everything right.

IMHO, would have looked better if you polished the whole thing. but you did a nice job, thats for sure.

only lips should be polished! makes it stands out in my opinion. I love the way it looks. If i get a set of vert rims, i would do the center some type of metallic bronze.

i didn't paint the back off the spokes
just use sand paper to sand the lip untill it's kinna smooth and then i use mother matal/aluminum polish and it comes out shine
