Default My Wheel project

I saw a DIY so I figured I'd try it out on an old wheel. Turned out pretty good IMO

Hey Zachys what exactly did you use? Just curious did it require a few more ounces to counter the added weight that you put on?


By the way the wheels looks great

Nice repair job and the colour looks sweet.

Might look good on my FBP Si. What colour is it exactly?

To answer all

1. The color IS Nighthawk Black Pearl, thats why you see the blue
2. The Si logo is the Si part of the window stickers over at ClubSi.com store
3. I don't have a tire on it yet, I just lined it up on a pc. of wood so I could snap a pic to get an idea of how it would look. It's a spare wheel but I don't have a tire on it yet.
4. Total time from start to finish, took 2 days but I had to let paint dry and I had other things to do so it was an hour here, and hour there, etc.
