Ah! What are you doing to be Cebul!

I’m just about to get my centres powder coated and you throw a spanner in the works on colour. I’ve done too many photoshops now to see what colour would look best and a brown colour was a serious contender, but I completely see that the photoshop did not do it justice! That looks great!

Mmm..what to do…:think:

8” wide too on my Volks. Damn your tyres must be stretched. I’m 225ing mine but I will be tracking.

Those wheels and broken suspension look looks epic!

To be honest, I was really worried how that brown will look on red car, in the internet/forums/galeies/google you will not find many red cars with brown wheels and polished lips, all have yellow or blacck centres, so that was a bit risk for me to paint them in brown, byt now I now that was a right step!

Reason why I've put 205 on 9" wheels is because streched tyre looks awsom in my opinion, if you want to do racing you need to put taht what you want to put - 225 - I do not racing so 205 is perfect for my.

Exactly, I couldn’t find pics of the same either. So hard to make a judgement call – you chose right though.
Mmm..I may stick with my original choice to be different, but +rep for going for the gamble.

Yeah, don’t worry, I can see why you chose 205’s – completely understand a little stretch does look nice. Why do you think everyone’s drooling over the look.

Did you hand polish them? I’m loosing the will on mine as I have some pitting around the bolt holes. Was looking into Crome dipping or a Chrome(ish) powder coat finish instead. This would also help keep them shiny with our roads!

I have done all job myself, that why it take me so long, barels been sprayed, centres been chemical strip down and primered and sprayed by Satin bronze spray and lips - that was a hardes bits, because in bolts holes area i had a little tot holes and the been really hard to remowe and make a suface nice and smoth that takes me a lot of hour/days to make them look like this. all lips been polished by hand ussing a wet and dry sanding paper from 280 grid follow... 320, 400. 600.800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000 by hand!! I've build a polishing masine and that make my job easier, will take a pcture later and will show you - is baceaclu like tyre balacing maine in tyre shop, but a lot simpler

[cebul]

Job done for today, unfortunetely not everything gos nice and smoth, when I've rolled an arches on one side everything was perfect, but on the other side not!! That side was involved in body job and all filler come off, and that do not look nice, but car will be resprayde any way in near future so I do not worry about it so much, will finish in new layer of filler and put some jdm/broken suspension look sticker to cover it

I've also took of a roff rack but my missues said - "put it back babe, that need to be there..." so I probably put that back, also is another reason wh I need to put it back but I will show it late.

Will upload some more photos from that job and wheel refurb proces bit later now just want to show how car looks on new wheels and slamed suspenson.
