Refinished my wheels! CHECK IT OUT! (opinions eh?)
How I bought them a couple weeks ago: ($300)
After being chemical-dipped, sand-blasted, and the lip machined: ($120)
3 layers of paint were removed, uuugliness!!
Lip painted:
Debated going silver/red:
Nahhhhh!!:
Inside painted:
Outside painted:
Finished product FTW!! I personally love how they turned out, MUCH better than I had hoped!
The rest of em waiting for their dark fate!

Re: Refinished my wheels! CHECK IT OUT! (skud_dusty)
Thanks guys, super stoked they turned out like this!
As for what brand, I still haven't figure that out! I know they aren't Volk, Rota, or Drag, closest I could find was Konig, but aren't Konigs made in Germany/US? These are made in Japan .. anyone?

Simple, because I did not know if I would like it or not .. if I did all 4 and didn't like it, it would have made a ton of extra work for me.
Now I am painting the other three all together.

looks like kyowa's since it says "designed in japan" & "ultra lightweight"
