lol I bought a set of slips like that back in the day (originaly black, then the dude stripped em and painted the center red)...

needless to say i took them home and stripped them to full polish with the quickness

Yeah, it took me 2 full day to strip it and paint. Damnn the black is hella thick, plus it has like a thick *** primer with it. It wasnt so fun stripping it. I might paint it again when i get bore of the color.

The wheels just... killed the car, mainly because of the color.

Did you use aircraft stripper?

Because when I got them they were half assed as expletive. The back was still the original black. So i just bombed them with aircraft stripper and let it sit for like 5mins. then pressure washed them

The red paint came off real easy because they were just spray bombed by the ricer in the first place

Ehhhh I don't like those. Maybe if they were 2 piece and there was some definition between the center and the lip...

Yeah i use aircraft remover, not the can one. Damn it works like wonder cause paint stripper couldnt do **** at all. First i use paint stripper then i went with aircraft remover. Actually the picture quality kills it, it actually looks nice in person. Maybe in month or 2 i might polish it or paint it a different color
