maybe im just weird, but im not feeling the whole half painted half polished. isnt that paint stripper stuff bad for rubber? i would shoot it with some clear coat, since the paint layer is not even w/ the wheel, it may chip later.
anywho, good work!

i didnt like the idea at 1st of the half color and half polish, but the way rota made the wheels...i mean the surface where i painted it was too rough to polish. plus fully polish looks weird w/ c8s.
paint stripper is prolly bad for the rubber, but it doesnt matter. if it blows out i'll just buy new tires...these are some cheap ***** that i got w/ the wheels. if the paint chips...oh well, no biggie.

Re: (ekcivic9)
you really cant clear over the polished, cuase the paint wont stick to it, it would have to be scuffed, and once scuffed, it wont be polished anymore. kinda a lose/lose situation
i just wanna see em mounted. who knows, it could be a surprise

not really, looks odd. here is a picture of fully polished c8s from Rota, notice its not really shiny like mine
Look where I painted my part of the rims and where they claim its polished.

Im sory, but that really stands out to me.
Either way, good job on the write up, and i cannot wait to see the wheels on the car.

I like the gold/bronze accents better, adds some contrast. Plus it looks kinda like my enkies (pics when i get home).
