How is it wasted just because its painted? Pretty much all of the wheels on the market are painted...

 

read. The issue isn't that he painted the wheels, it's that there was absolutely no care taken in doing it. Someone just masked off the main areas and sprayed away on an expensive set of wheels, painting everything that was there including the rivets and valve stems. It's poorly done and that's too bad.

 

moforeynolds: thank you!..... jadaniya: it takes reading to be a hero....

 

Its too much black and your tires look brown now. I dunno, I wouldn't have painted the lips and had the centers powder coated instead of painted it's far more durable.

You can take them apart its not a big deal, just mark them and use a mild thread locker when putting them back together. I pulled Welds apart on a drag car and marked them so the center was put back in the basket in the same spot and Weld gave me the torque and procedure to put them back together properly. It was no big deal. Work will probably say two step torque process 20-40 ft/lbs and star pattern with some light thread locker (ie NOT Loctite red).

I would pull em apart and re-do it properly if they were mine.

If you are happy with them then that is all that matters.

val paint the lips gold

 

whats wrong with painting rivets and valve stems? Maybe he wanted the rivets painted?

 

its takes reading to be a hero? what if I want to be an @sshole like you? what do I do then?

 

Thanks jadaniya. I wanted it painted that way. Sorry I didnt get to paint in your way but I wanted it painted that way otherwise it would have been done differently. I was looking for comments and opinions but you guys dont have to be an @sshole about it. im happy with them and thats all that matters to me because ITS MY CAR. plus it looks way better in person as well. All i asked for were your opinions and ideas.

About takin the wheels apart i just heard many people have leaks when they do. Even if i did i would have it painted exactly how i have it now.

 

hhaaha i dont know mickey i love the black look.

 

Few more pictures on my orlando trip. Taken with my phone (i know i need to use a better camera) it was in the moment.




one of my favorites:

 

I don't know if anyone mentioned this...but if you did backwards

matte lip and gloss spokes it would of been hella tighter, and stayed way cleaner

 

I was thinking of that but i wanted a gloss lip to match the body of my car.

 

you're not an a-s-s-hole, you're s*h*i*t to me (way lower level)

you're like a b-tch in the movies.....(if this were a movie)

after this message don't bother to reply....

 

black brake calipers

 

thats probably the only thing holding it back ( lack of contrast)

as mentioned if you could clean the rivets

 

LOL, this guy must be like 15 years old, doesn't even have a Z and tries to be a big guy on the net. we need to ban little f@g boys from this site...

 

lol at the arguments.

I like the look and I bet it looks great in person. No picture can really do it justice. Disregard the negative comments/opinions, everyone is entitled to theirs. Besides, its almost impossible to please everyone.

 

jadaniya who didn't get what i was saying about the rivets and valve stems being painted? you, right? so who is 15 yrs old?

 

i like the wheels bro. look pretty good blacked out. thank you for not time attacking them.
