Hey .RJ, thanks for the wheels. 2 hours of cleaning and I still didn't get all the brake dust off



Those stickers were the worst part though. The goof-off I usually use to take goo off, was taking off the wheel paint and making a sticky mess. A torch worked slightly better.

Anyhow, what do we have here???



Would I dare ruin these pretty TDR wheels with paint?

Yup....





This orange is HOT! My car now has... the POWER OF ORANGES!

Thanks for the inspiration, Cone.

These wheels will soon be shod with 205/50R15 Hankook Z211 (R compound).

p.s. Penpen, your wheel color choice is still safe...

-Chris

 

Why didn't you remove the existing coats of paint with aircraft stripper? Nice colored wheels.

'cuz that takes time.

I'll probably end up stripping this stuff someday and doing a nice paintjob on it. In the meantime, this'll be fine for track wheels! They'll just be ruined with brake dust in a few months anyway.

glad you were able to find your color in the high-temp resistant. can't say the same for me so good choice!

in future, if you want to clean them off, look for aircraft stripper.

Yeah, 1200F should do the job

I like how they turned out. It's a nice, subtle, flat orange. The edge where I masked them turned out nice too, so they're still gunmetal on the inside.

Check your PM penpen.. I think I found the paint you're looking for

 

nice choice in color. man, i was pretty close a couple times in ordering a set of Team orange wheels. i like that color.

how much did you get the wheels for?

My car is in a state between running and not running Motor rebuilt, turbo is shot (turbine hitting exhaust housing). A GT2871R is on order to replace it.

 

good ****....now you can make 350-400whp and still spool really fast!

 

bling!

 

I'll have to see what they look like on the car...

 

nice looking wheels to paint red.

 

I guess you want your brake dust to REALLY show.

 

Those are sweet rims. I was thinking about getting some for the track.

 

noice

 

Kewl color, haven't seen that yet. What color R on these going on?
