About a year ago, I had an idea for my extra set of AP2 wheels. Paint them black and leave all the machined surfaces unpainted. For about $20 and two hours per wheel taping them off and painting them, I tried out this idea. For the quick/cheap job, they turned out great! However, I knew at some point I wanted to get them professionally done. Well, I did. Here are the results. The place that did the work is Wheel Medic, Inc. in Columbus, Ohio.

I am very happy with the results and feel like I got a new set of wheels.

Is that a gloss black or what color...........they look SWEET!

Thanks!

Gloss black. I wanted more contrast, having Silverstone.

Its very nice! Does make the stock rims look like you have some other type on them.

Looks like one of the styles from Konig

Whoah, I thought of doing this too the other day. You beat me to it. Now I get a chance to see what it looks like. I must say it looks awesome!

Looks like I'll be doing this real soon

Nice, how long did it take them Gary?

5 Days. I dropped the wheels off on Friday afternoon and picked them up on a Wednesday.

Thanks for the compliments!

Looks fantastic!

So what is the process? Do they mask the areas then coat the rest? Or PC the whole wheel and sand/polish the surface? Is that what you mean by "machined"?

Nice finish, and good idea! I am always trying to think of a way to change the stockies to look different... that way I feel like I have new wheels, but without the output of a huge chunk of change!
