Hnnnnggh! Man, those are naughty!

Just a small update but it's sort of a milestone for me so I thought I'd share.

The wheels are done

Bought new dimple rings and had them powder coated along with the beveled cap surrounds. Then today I got the tires mounted and finally got to see the finished product that this '02 will be squatting down on for years to come :D

This is my favorite thread on this site. Congrats, and keep up the good work, man!

Wheels came out looking great!! After refinishing my euroweaves I am definitely getting a sandblasting set up.

keep going. I just re-read the entire thread, posted it on my FB. It makes me want to leave my house right now at 11:34pm and head to my shop to mess with one of my cars! Very few things on r3v get me that motivated. Besides the prospect of hanging with old friends at V@V, which I hope you make it to someday.

Wow man, it really means a lot to hear that. Glad I could inspire some motivation!

Thank you, that means a lot. Just following my heart!

I took apart a set of wheels and after I got one of them done I realized, like you did, that there has got to be a faster way to get it done.

I don't have room for a sandblast booth setup so I sent them to a wheel shop, as 4-5 hours of my time per wheel was nuts.

Anyway... your blacked out setup looks great! I do agree that the black bolts look much better than the polished ones. Maybe gold bolts from Persch & Partner is in store for the future!

Thanks! And yeah, once I finished them all, I took a step back and thought to myself "wow, that was definitely not worth it". Especially after the powder coater told me they would've sand blasted them all for $10 more per wheel. I spent $25 on paint stripper

Agree 100% on the black bolts.

Wheels look really nice.

Thank you, aside from looking out of place, I felt that the polished bolts also took away a lot of the depth of the new lips.

Very impressed with this thread. You are doing things at your age i only dreamed of doing. Keep it up!
