Yeah, I've always thought some red anodized lips would be sick.

Here's a picture thread I made on the subject.

If you can't find a place to anodize you could have a chrome powdercoat then a transparent color powder over top to give the same impression.

 

could look sick if done right...love the gold on the BMW in that link

 

generally speaking, i don't like gold...but that looks hot

 

 

That looks F'N amazing!!

 

^ yeah that Bimmer is def baller status.

 

chyea it is. wow... wonder what WORK MEISTERS BLACK WITH GOLD LIP WOULD LOOK LIKE ON A BLACK CAR?!?!?!?!?!?

 

This is what prompted me to make that post...

anybody wanna this kinda pic of your Z?



and... anyways.... back to original question.. any shop?
i was looking for this also...

 

i do. i do i do i do.

 

i found out the place for anodizing. but they only work on bike wheels. does anybody know??

 

You got my hopes up! Those are the same videos though

 

Whoops, my fault, FIXed.

I also noticed that Axis is offering a rose gold anodized lip now. Very similar to that bimmer.

 

I've been thinking of painting my spokes black, and going with a painted lip....Can't decide what color though

 

Are you the one with the S2k on WORKS from Skyline??

What exactly are you looking to do?? The reason I asked.....is because I had done quite a bit of research and it can be a pain in the @ss. I had Ye Old Wheels re-polished my WORK wheels (lips) and I had explored varies options for protection and anodizing was one. For the life of me I could not find ANY one that had previous experience/work done by any local (NoVA & DC Metro area) shop. Apparently it's not in great demand, not a very lucrative business. I'm not the type to take someones word without experience and or proof of workmanship. From what I've gathered - Anodizing impregnates the metal material (you need to verify the wheels material - the process may damage wheels) resulting in a very durable surface. Check out the link:

1st link was recommend by the 2nd link. I had a buddy of mine do business with the 2nd link. Awesome work - I figured the recommendation was worth something. I never pursued the anodizing nor do I have any personal experience with the shops. Good Luck
