I like them the way you did that. I was a little nervous when I saw the solid black center cap I have to admit but I kept scrolling down and liked what you did with them! They look really good like that!

Thanks man :) I know they arent perfect for anything...and its done with spray paint (aka...CHEAP/Ghetto)...but I figure...IF needed, I can get the paint off..



Good enough for me... :) For now

at a glance, it looks like there is almost NO rim connected to the axle...looks like it would break the spokes lol... :imo:

I totally agree.. it looks good for the moment for sure. I definitely am still interested though in seeing if/when you go with the black/red rim scheme you were thinking about.

Thats a for sure deal (black and/or red powder coat)...I just need to wait till I have $700 to just throw away on something that has no gain at all and does nothing for me but look different :)

I like how the wheels turned out....just enjoy it until it flakes and maybe do it again later till you can get them PC'd.

At first I thought this thread was going to be about you paint the whole rime red or black. What you did was very subtle and looks pretty good. I do agree with NJ04HOE about flaking.
