I REALLY like that but for some reason the wheels look smaller, did you do this yourself or have them done?

The lines are a lot more accented.

I did all taping of the polished areas(pain in the ass) and my buddy sprayed them at his motorcycle shop. As for them looking smaller, I thought just the opposite, the painted wheels look bigger when I had one of each on at a time.

Maybe this weekend, I throw one of the rear unpainted wheels back on and take a picture to see what ya kids think.

I'd suggest finding a bent/curbed wheel and apply some aircraft paint remover to see what they will look like, instead of just going ahead and doing your wheels. You might not like the results...

I have one set of chromed AP2v1 wheels and another being shipped to me for my REO1R's as I type. Here is a pic of my car with my DD all-seasons.



Some people like 'em some don't... just like everything in life. LOL
