Nothing special, first couple pics are from after getting the car.
Stages of my set of wheels that have been more pain in the ass than joy. Bought them and painted gold. Then refinished again over winter and only had on for a few days till found leaks.
Now once again tearing them apart and going to clean up even more and possibly polish the barrels or paint them something interesting.
Last pic is right after painting and clear. Wish i would've taken pics to show the improvement in the lips. When I bought the wheels, a few wheels had curb rash and two wheels even had gouges in the faces and lips. Got everything worked out nicely tho. Will hopefully have pics up soon after their back together

yeah as it sits now, looks crap-tastic. still haven't had time to get my suspension on. it is supposed to look ridiculous on purpose tho. having my cf hood wrapped in a matching vinyl with a pretty cool design. Just wanted to do something different. I wanted teal but there's no way to pull it off better than the guy who already had teal works so why try. that car is stupid rad. but saw this color at the store and it really caught my eye... plus with the way i'm going, i'll be changing colors every year or two anyways. I've already thought about going back to gold.
