well... i finally finished my wheel refinish of some rare staggered blitz technospeeds z1's(17x7+45 and 17x8+45). these originally were priced around $500 a piece back in the day when they were sold. took them completely apart and de-tired, sanded down imperfections and took to powdercoat. this may sound like it was easy and quick but was a lot more work than i expected. i'm sure people that have refinished 3 piece wheels would know what i went through. i'm most likely not going to keep these because my car is completely stock and i think i'm going to keep it that way until i know where my life is going. anyways, you clicked this thread for pictures so here you go..... i didn't clean them at all after my dirty hands were all over them and they are a bit dusty to but that's the great thing about semi gloss black powdercoat... they don't look dirty even with a bunch of crap on them.










these would look great on any colored car... especially GPW which is the best s2k color out there as all of you know

 

WOW! they turned out great. I would have done the rivets in gold, powdercoat or anodize.

 

Man, where the heck are the rest of the pics?

Looks great!

 

nice turnout

 

i remember seeing those rims in a HCI magazine back in 2003,...look much better in black

 

Nice job....

 

I hate foot hair.







JK
Wheels look awesome

 

Why all black? bolts too?

 

Looking Sick

 

yes... these are all semi gloss black... even the bolts. they look better in person than in pictures... but i think the pictures look pretty good to. can't wait to see these on a s2k...
