KosmiK Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Got my wheels back today, just wanted to share some pics and see what you lot think. Couldn't get them diamond cut, not straight enough. Before After On the car Edited October 25, 2014 by KosmiK 1 Quote
KosmiK Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Argh, tapped twice. Can a mod delete the duplicate topic? Or can I somehow? Quote
a2orry Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Yeah they look great . I would have tried polishing the rim rather than painting Quote
RJF Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Much better! Black always looks good against gunmetal. Quote
KosmiK Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Yeah they look great . I would have tried polishing the rim rather than painting I did think about polishing, but don't you have to keep the rim really well protected so it doesn't fade? I can't be bothered with that, so figured this was the better option. Polishing might show up the imperfections in the wheel more too? 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Yep, you'd be out side polishing them daily to keep them looking good if you'd gone that way KosmiK. They look great, ...I'd be happy with those. Quote

KosmiK Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Daily? Wow im glad I didn't get them polished. There's a valeting bay at work so I've got no excuse to not keep them clean, but that's a bit much for me. Quote
veilside z Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Great job. Mine are polished but not lacquered and stain easy. Laquer when hit as a stone chip, allows water to penetrate rim and they go black underside. Thinking of painting mine too. Quote
martybhoy Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 They look great a friend had these on wheels on his black zed but they didnt look as good as they do with the silver. Quote
ioneabee Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 isn't the yellow dot on the rubber the indicator to line up with the air valve ? to help with balancing ? 1 Quote
