Default carbon fiber pattern hydro-dipped rotas
a couple of months ago while looking on Craigslist I found a set of rota's rp45r for a good price. There were heavy scratches on them so my best option was to sand them and powder coat them. I was having a hard time deciding the color so I ended up going with a carbon fiber dip. i think I made the right decision. what u guys think?!

First I've ever seen. Post some pics when they're mounted! Can't wait to see how they turn out.

Show car I'm assuming? I wouldn't pull pattern on a DD or weekend driver... will be very noticeable when it fades or is damaged.

thanks. it is a little expensive since there's not many people that do it. I got a good price since I became good friends with the owner of the shop but it should run around 200-300$ a piece. it all depends the condition of the wheel.

more like a weekend car and I'm not really worry about fading since he used high quality clear coat as long I give it good maintenance should last me 10+ years.

No thanks. Fake wheels with fake carbon fiber pattern.

Your choices are disgusting. But then again it's your car.
