Default Wheels!

Just got my wheels back from powder coating. The previous owner rattle canned them gold. [:@]

Anyways, they're 17x8.5 SSR Comps. Coating came in just under $400. They would have been less, but the color I got is 2 coats. Got them done at Bonehead Performance. (I know it's an odd name, but they did a nice job)

Those look great. Do they clean the wheel up too? Nicks and scratches? I love that color. Nice choice!

Yup. The clear powder coat was the second coat. They add 50% for colors with a second coat.

graphite gray it looks like ( a good colour ) especially on the inner side of the alloy because it doesn't show break dust that much
