ORIGINAL: BOPOH

sweet i like ur idea!! can u be more specific? i was planing to do samething but so many ppl tell me so many different things. What kind of paint are you gonna use? i heard u need heat resistant paint i guess same with a primer. plus at high speed ur paint may not hold or something. Anyway good luck!! keep updating us on ur progress, maybe i'll do mine after u r done with urs. THanks
i am using duplicolor wheel paint/primer..... there should be no issues

also like i said it is just till the winter when i get them powder coated

Needs new tires + brakes. Everything looks clean until you hit the tires, and the brakes are all dull and worn out[:'(]

But other than that, the rims look damn sexy. Nice job on them.
