    Painted wheels white





    they are a pure white but kinda came out off white in the pics for some reason


    used zinc etching primer on the bare blasted alloy

    sanded with 400 grit

    tack cloth

    duplicolor wheel coating

    clear


    they came out pretty good, lets see how they last...

                    maybe in the future..these are forged too, im not expecting them to bend


                    i need to measure the centers for some rondels



                    they might take some time to get on the car...im waiting on adapters

                    and billies to make the look correct

                      hey thanks


                      they are a MASSIVE +65mm offset

                      so i had to do 45mm adapters, im not a fan of the euro stretch

                      so im going 205/50, should be nice and square


                      bavauto springs and billies



                      if need be in the future, i can do a spacer and roll the fenders for the flush look



                      next question is what color should the springs be painted? they amazing bavauto finish has all but been destroyed


                      car is white with dark blue stripes (flame suit on)

                      and its a cabbie

                        here is a non-mayo pic




                        to be honest, it s was really easy to get this done


                        the hardedt part was the blasting then the cleaning

                        i used lighter fluid inbetween blasting cleaning then sanding

                            Looks nice, but waiting for pics on car. What size are these? If I can find some for a reasonable price, I may do something similar.
