    A pic for Wodj.

    Heres one of the wheels after being shotblasted , powdercoated in a black base and the first layer of laquer with the holographic flakes in , not very good quality because it was taken with my phone....., but after another 6 coats of laquer they now look brill (in my eyes) will get some better ones up soon when the cars back....

    I didnt! I put the tyres back on and masked up so that I didn't run the risk of damaging the newly sprayed laquer when using the tyre machine , the inner surfaces dont need laquering and at 80 quid a litre it would be a waste.

    Incidentally I'm very surprised he hadn't done something with the wheels!

    sorry shaun.. buut not for me either ...
    What made these wheels always turn heads was the polished rim
    it use to look like a ring of fire at night in the light of street lights..
    As long your happy thoug that's all that matters

    tbh wodj the only way to bring that back up would have been to chuck it in the cnc and skim it and for me I may as well and gone and bought some than faffing about tooling that up. they look totally different from the photos , but as I said they are abit bling for me so when i get time i may have another go at them.
