I have been thinking about air craft stripping my stock ITR wheels. Has anyone ever done this, and or have pictures of what they look like? I was just curious if they end up with a finish such as the 94-95 GSR wheels or 99-00 Si wheels? I think if they look decent after paint stripping they would look simular to the NSX wheel. Let me know if you think this is a good idea, or not. Thanks

 

Philly_NBP_R showed his wheels being stripped and then clear coated:

 

wow that looks hot i like it

 

that does look pretty good

 

hot hot.

 

Doesn't look like anything specia, maybe with a little more bling of the nsx wheels they would own.

 

I stripped em, and added Honda S2000 center caps. Came out pretty good.

Finished Product:

teh hotness mang!!!

 

I will vouch for Nicks, they are blingalicious in person .i think they look great

 

yeah, the only problem is that the clearcoat I had sprayed on (by a painter) stripped off after about three months of street driving.

I will be dismounting the tires and re-clear coating them this winter.

 

that looks really nice. my rims have a couple chips here and there and i was thinking of getting them repainted. after looking at those, i might consider just stripping it off and keeping it like that. not sure yet

 

i think im gonna strip mine, and paint the spoke/center black, with a polished aluminum lip...

 

I've been working on doing this to mine for the past few weeks. (few minutes every couple days. I don't have much free time) Once you get them cleaned up they really look awesome in bare aluminum.

 

Thanks everyone for posting up some pictures. Now, whats the safest way to strip them? I was thinkin about using air craft stripper remover? Does that seem to work the best?

 

Aircraft stripper will do the job. I used that **** at work on hoods and wheels to be repainted but never to jus clear and call it finished so im not really sure how well it would turn out. But good luck if u decide to do it cus it looks teh hottness!!

OT: what part of the Nati u from, H22aDc2?

Have them powder-coated clear.

I might just do this...

 

I striped the paint of one of my sets and spray painted them with high-temp grill paint.
Looks pretty good IMO.

I live over off Beechmont, like Anderson township...

 

what acura cap would you use?

 

Car looks bad, looks good with gun metal or bronze.
Just my opinion.

 

very very nice
