Default Customized my rims.

i have a set of 19s, but turbo and 19's isnt all that great so i thought i would do something different. so i got a set of track rims, and im sending them to weld craft wheels, and having them widened 2 inches so i can fit a 305 drag radial on there .. i painted the fronts and im doing the rears when i get them back, and will post more pics in 2 weeks of the setup on my car. and how it drives.

onto the pics

before clearcoat


after clearcoat (i still havent finished doing the center caps)




new pics

Looks pretty good.

Did you pain the lugs thought? I would think that would chip pretty fast.

Ah ok. You can probably get adonized red which are pretty durable. Looks good though.

They look pretty sick. I'd say leave off the center caps and do black lugs.

I'd lose the center caps too, but keep the red lugs as they look pretty cool while you're moving.

Does that change the offset at all? Do you get a choice of changing offset or do they just do it in the spot where it's most safe on the rim? thanks.
