Default Painted a VX rim!



I wanted it to match my lensos but also wanted to see what they would look like with some contrast between the spokes.

a few hours a rim because the rims were GARBAGE (Canadian salty winters) when I got them. One of them had to have some aluminum welded to the lip. Helped pass the time at work when I have nothing to do on the weekends as well. They all look like new now.

got all 4 rims for $100CAD ($90USD). I'm selling two of them (painted in graphite grey) if anyone is interested.

taping took an easy hour and a half. just had a rim in my lap with tape and an exacto knife while watching TV. had to cut the tape into thin strips so it could make it around sharp radius's
