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

 

wow they look pretty good

 

i did it to my HX wheels...came out clean! the whole rims is mechined/polish

 

those itr rims look pretty good stripped

I thought he hasn't even stipped 'em yet and that's the reason why he posed the question

Anyhow, once you strip it, it would be a very good idea to sand, wet sand, then buff so you can have that finished look. Else it will look like rotted-out polished wheels.

 

I personally like the gm color of the stock itr wheels. I always thought the nsx wheels had a finish similar to the gsr blades. And sand/wet sand, and buff like stated above

 

The gunmetal color is tight but when trying to be different, taking the next step (stripping stock itr's) might be the next thing to do.
