Poor man's gunmetal center/powdercoat.

Hey guys........

A week or so ago I was asking about two tone powdercoating on stock rims. Tryin to achieve the SSR Comp look or the Buddy Club type II without spending the $1500 and having my wife change the locks.....

I just got back my rims today and they look friggin great; can't wait to get the tires back on em and then back on the car.

Had the guy tape/mask the outer lip, then powdercoat the center with a gunmetal gray color. Actually, it's called silver vein; sort of gunmetal with a small black vein running through it. It looks awesome. He then hit the entire wheel just out of the oven with clear powdercoat, to give it a high gloss.

Will post pics soon. Yeah, I wish they were 17's, but for $75 a wheel they look great!

David

Cheers---
