They're going to look great with that carbon fiber hood.

Well here's the deal guys. I was thinking about it, and I think I'm going to leave them midly polished for now, see how I like them, and then if I want to, bling the **** out of them.

So now I've got three more to do, and they'll be on muh caR.

Thanks! I think I'll hit the lip with 2,000 grit, and polish the Hell out of it... But I think I'll leave the rest as is, I think they turned out really good.

I tried doing that with the wheels I bought off David NYC a while ago. The spokes looked sick but I couldn't get the last bit off the inside like you. I got frustrated and resprayed them

Beadblast.

I focused primarily on the spokes for the serious sanding, and left the inners to the Beadblaster. After the Beadblasting, DO NOT sand those sections, it will make them quite rough... I learned that the hard way.

So I had to reblast one wheel. And after that, I just LIGHTLY hit the inners with 1,000 grit, and polished those sections to brighten them up a bit.

So it turned out pretty good, I got two more wheels done today. I've got to Beadblast the last wheel one more time (Beadblaster got clogged half way through), and after that, I'm getting the Azenis mounted, and they'll be on my car next week.

I can't wait to see how they look.

you have your own bead blaster? how do you bead blast evenly so its flat instead of all uneven and whatnot? I would think that would dig holes in the metal rather easily?

Damn, that car looks mean as Hell .m a c a!

RTW DC2R, I don't have my own Beadblaster, I used my schools. The stream doesn't eat through aluminum that easy. I remember we had an RX-7 Upper Plenum that was the victum of nitrous backfire, so we held it in the Beadblaster for about 30 minutes hitting the same spot, and it made a nice indention, but didn't eat through.

I just went over everything once, and it stripped all the **** right off. They came out looking great... Which is why I'm buying another set in bad condition, Beadblasting them up, and leaving them like that... It looks SOOOOO sweet. (See pictures on Page 2)

For the lazy guys...


I'm going in Monday to do the last one, then I'll have the Azenis mounted the same day... So I should have some pictures of them installed on Monday.

I can't wait, I'm getting giddy, haha.
