Default Blue Powder Coated AP1 Wheels/SO2s

I have a set of AP1 OEM wheels that I powder coated blue. I left the lip polished. The center caps did not coat well so I pitched them. The lug nuts are chrome. The SO2s have 90% tread on the fronts and 80% on the rears. I hardly used them. The poliched lip is not perfect, there are some small rough edges around the wheel. I will take more picks tonight. Looking for $800+ shipping OBO. I am just north of COlumbus, OH


X-box not included.


Taped them off before powdercoating. Removed tape after powder coating so the lip stayed polished.

Pics on the car were not great shots. Looked purple in the pics. SOme of my local guys saw them up close. The blue is nice. I think a spa, silverstone or seabring would look nice with blue wheels. IMO.

Powder Coated--They were soaked for cleaning, sprayed with a coat of silver, then 2 coats of blue. Then they were baked.

If you look at the pics, I masked off the lip. The entire face of the wheel was powdercoated. Afterwards, we removed the tape. Was not fun. Again, not a perfect job, but got the effect I wanted. Now I just need to get some funds for my coilovers.
