little to late now. bolts went to a plater today to get the black phosphate off and will be polished stainless again. lips went to powdercoater and are going 60% gloss black (inbetween satin and full gloss). will either do centers body color or full gloss black. maybe even body color with a misting of harlequin over it to match the flames and be suppa sick!!

well, after the paint getting stripped on the centers, i really didn't have the heart to paint them. they looked too dam good. still couldn't leave a good thing alone and decided to paint inside the spokes black, do a brushed finish on all the spoke faces, and polish the lug nut area and the fingers come off from them. 60% gloss black will be on the barrels with polished ss bolts. ya won't see another one like it thats for sure!

not really sure. i found it on ebay and was something different than i had never seen before and knew i would be one of the only guys running it. quality was not very good, but i have alot of fiberglass experience. i have about 20 hours into it to make it perfect. came out good though.

ok, 2 together and sealed up,2 to go. they take about an hour or so each to do!! satin black front and rear lips. center is brushed finish on the spoke face, polished inside the lug nut area and little fingers going up the spokes, and black inside the spokes and then shot with clear. also, bolts used to be black, after many hours they are polished ss now. doesn't get much better than this!!!

Neither. Polished will clash with the brushed/satin finish of the face. Black will stand out too much, and it will look too busy, since the lip is already black. I vote for some KICS neochro.
