Default Calling all wheel ******

Just got the wheel out from my powder coater. Was getting bored with the whole polished lip. Barrels were sand blasted, hand sanded, then primered, hand sanded again, then final powder coat. Same finish and quality that they do on exile cycles. They also have some trick clear, candy, and colored chrome powder coatings. Really some sick ish they can do.

Edited: pictures did not go through the first time Oh yeah this wheel is going on a super black car

i think if the lip was gloss it would look better. The wheel just looks too flat.

They have a way of making the lip look candy blue color or go with a candy black color. As far as it being on the car it'll be a couple of weeks. Best picture I have it on a car is my RC.

Oh ish...I thought the same about you too. Just been busy with work. You still have your car? Last time I saw your car you had the HKS Exhaust maybe 1 year ago or more. Chrome silver right? If you are in the market for some parts, I got a few rare peices collecting dust in my garage. Some are used and some are new. Misc ish like a few sets of wheels, suspension parts, exterior, and other JDM accesories.

not sure if the lip will blend into the tire, making the rim look smaller. I'll need to see it on the car...the rim by itself is looking really good though. I'm sure the pics aren't doing it justice.

You should have made the center gold. The silver isn't working. The bolts should be matte black also.
