well up late again cleaning the wheels. i only got one done tonight but patience is a virtue.
as you can see in the first pic the barrel of the the rim is pitch black from dirt build up from the previous owner. its was really a combination of dirt and paint from when he rattle canned the wheels. i had to use aircraft paint remover ans several other cleaning agents just to get it all off

in this pic you can see the hard work put into the wheel.

you can really see the difference in the wheels here:

you can kind of get an idea of what i want the finished wheel to look like when its all done and powder coated in this pic

well im freakin tired so im done with this for tonight. lmk what you think so far. feel free to suggest a color for the centers im still debating if i really want them black

welcome to s2ki. FYI, this car will go from a hobby to an obsession overnight.
