Default Wheel Mod, Bling FN01RC

I had a small knick in one of my wheels and I got annoyed by it so I decided to strip and polish them. It's still in the works, still need to paint the barrel and sides of the spokes (PPG). Probably gonna go black on the barrel and sides. Will post pics once I re-mount the tires.

EDIT UPDATE: TEASER PICS, WELL THE ONLY SHOT SINCE ITS DARK AS FAWK.

NOW ON CAR... Waiting till daylight for pics.

Still needs polishing and paint.

Waiting till tomorrow to finish it up sun went down.


Will have pics by next week.
Going to airbrush the FN01RC back on later.

Sucks, FN01RCs are pretty cheap too. Thieves need to get a damn job.

cheap? how much you get yours for? my friend got his 17x7's 4x114.3 for like 1100 with tires. but he got the black with polish lip when they were new to the market so thats probably why he got them for so much.

or i must be really broke to think 1100$ isn't cheap

I'm used to modding my 350z and in excess of 13 grand in mods so far. So anything to my Civic seems cheap. Tires sized at 275/35/ZR19' s is a fortune on the Z.

Im still deciding what color to paint the side of the spokes and barrel. They are a weird off bronze color in pure metal form. Any thoughts or suggestions? Someone said red, but I don't want it screaming out for attention.
