my rims are that dark 30 min after cleaning them, from all the brake dust!

 

if only the sotck wheels came that way
nice job

 

Nothing new, I did my GSX wheels.. painted a silver lip and bronze centers.

(3) coats of brown primer.
(5) coats of paint.
(5) coats of clearcoat.

15minutes between each coat, done in a dry/dust-free atmosphere. Tape off the lip with some sort of scotch painting tape and remove once the last coat of clearcoat goes on. Viola!

 

Yep Low Temp Powder Coat. PM me for pricing.

 

Looks very nice! I've seen an Evo that had it's stock rims powder cotaed all black and it looked great also.

 

No offense but this is not a fair comparison. The lip is polished not painted. The wheel is powder coated with a gun metal finish that is mush more durable than paint.

 

I agree, my bad. My wheels have held up to Chicago salt and now AZ heat. Been painted once and look the same as they did when I first painted them, just a slightly darker hue. Wheels do look nice on the Evo +1.

 

I really like that! Thought about doing it myself.

 

Yeah, nothing new in the ghetto.

J.K. I'm sure your wheels look good, but P-coating is doing it right...and even though I don't dig the polished lip, I'm sure it's worth some elbow grease.

Did you coat the whole wheel then remove and polish the lip, or did you mask the lip before coating?

 

very nice. I have been pondering that but could not figure out how to polish the lip

 

I like it, something I would like to do with my crappy winter wheels if it didn't cost much...

Don

 

Looks very proffesional and clean! Nice idea.

 

props, good stuff.. you got a PM.. is the polished lip difficult if the rim has some curb rash?.. i wanna see how this would look on a tarmac evo

 

I'm not sure if I like it, but I must admit that it is very creative, original, and well done! Hats off to you!

 

Nice job bro... VERY NICE.....get that baby lowered and your rims will set off....
