i've already searched but could find anything. Does anyone know if there is a 'how-to' thread on these wheels? thanks

 

What do you mean by a "how-to"? How to what?

 

i know there was a thread created by the owner of these wheels in which he showed everyone how he did it. i just cant find it...

oh, they are HX wheels w/a polished lip/gunmetal spokes.. i just want to know how it was done. sorry if the question was ambiguous

Damn, I didn't even notice they were HXs, they look good. I remember seeing that pic in a thread about ek side skirts.

 

just mask off the lip, and paint away. obviously there is some prep work to do, but thats it. autozone makes a good gunmetal paint. made by dupli color.
-kev

 

Don't have a how-to on the subject, but just wanted to post some more pix of gunmetal HX wheels, hehe... These are just all gunmetal:

 

nice! i just wanted to know the grade of sand paper you guys would use to polish the lip.. like start with 400 and work up to 1200 or something? and where can you buy aircraft stripper?

 

auto zone has the aircraft stripper and the paint.

 

what he said. use that to strip the coating on the rim, be sure to tape off the spokes. spray that paint stripper and once it's all off get some polish to make them shine and from rusting.

 

thats freaking nice! cn i pay one of you guys to do that ? lol gj

 

i know how to do that, my friend owns a set of HX wheels like that, hes selling them for $550 with some brand new 195/60R-14 Falken Azenis tires. But for the sake of origonality im not going to tell how to do it, because lately telling peeps how to do **** has only led to it not being origonal anymore.

sorry, figure out how tah urself.

 

That logic is just retarded because there is no such thing as original these days. Selfish.

 

That would be like me refusing to tell people how to run a two stage nitrous kit, just b/c I wanted to be original. That's just fucked up. I'll do anything I can to keep rice off of cars and to help people make them faster.

 

sorry. im usually outgoing about cars and **** and tellin people how to do **** but lately its just been pissing me off, if u do something cool you get bunches of people you dont even know coming up to you and asking how to do this and that and this and before you know it everyone ******* has it.

****, ok, i made my home made turbo kit, word gets around now i got like 1,000 ricers a second asking me how i put a utrbo on my car y0. and when i ****** pop the hood they dont even know where the ******* turbo is

****, why ask how to its as simple as stripping paint and masking off areas.. jesus.

aircraft cleaner is FRrrreeeeeAAAaAAAakin strong stuff!!!!!!!!!

 

Ricers in your hometown or on H-T? I understand if it's the hometown crowd. I don't talk about my set up b/c it's useless to try to explain it. On H-T it's a different story though.

 

I would like to know how to polish the lip as well.

 

very nice...just needs a brake upgrade to go with the added power

 

Dude I know what you are saying. With my old car when I did my swap and added some juice to it I would have my then girlfriend's cousins and neighbors asking me if I can put "NOSSSSSSS" on there Chevy Celebrity or Ford Tempo. But this is HONDA-TECH. That is why you and me are here. To share with others what we know and ask questions on what we don't know.
