Ok now I want some wheels that are black with a polished lip but I cant seem to find any that I like soooo how about I get rota attacks and get someone to powdercoat the inside black/gunmetal or whatever and leave the lip silver? would that look ok or not?? I just need to get some opinions...and i figure since rotas and cheap and if one gets screwed up its not much of a loss

 

That would probably work, but isn't powerdercoating expensive. Would make good looking wheels though.

 

get the middle powder coated and have the lip polished out to a nice shiney chrome like finish.. like the 57pros..

yea thats sounds good. i dont want the center to be flat black or anything either...that just looks blah to me

 

I think it would probably look pretty good. It's worth a shot if you've got the money.

 

yea im gonna save up the $. i know someone who could do the powdercoating or painting too

 

but they arent 2 pc rims.

so powder coating the centers will looka bit off.

there will be a line around where u poweder coated, and polished?
ya get me?

 

smooth move yo!!!, i like

do you mind if i steal your idea? , just keep them the way they are.

yea thats ok i dont expect them to be perfect

 

nah i dont care

 

Why dont you just do a nice spray paint job? Take your time and prep and they will come out nice.

 

thats a good idea too

Yeah, as long as you don't slack on all the prep work, it can come out nicely.

wow! thanks so much!

 

 

Volk Gtns are nice..get those

 

There's a guy on this board at this very moment selling Gram Lights with a polished lip, and "gunmetal" center. Just buy his wheels...They're only like a month old.

 

I have no $ for that besides everyone I know has those. I want to be different! I'm in the process for saving up for the wheels now

 

instead of that idea, you can save up a little longer and buy these

bronze wheels on a silver civic= *gag*

 

it was a cheap plug

 

i know LoL

 

You do realize that the wheels you posted a pic of, are Gram Light copies correct? I was suggesting you buy the real versions that somebody has already taken the liberty of polishing and powdercoating.

 

yes i know all rota wheels are copies of others. I just cant afford the real things...and besides my dumbass will probably curb them anyways so theres no sense in me buying the nice real ones
