this came in the other day

 

cars on jacks now




****ty painted wheels that have been on the car.

 

yes these are the ones super street decided to poke fun at when i was in the readers rides section

 

looking good! and nice progress

 

Magazines like Superstreet only say stupid things like that because they are sponsored by all those aftermarket wheel companies, etc. An obedient consumer buys NEW things... anyway, I think the stock GSR wheels look wicked and yours even more so in bronze, good job.

 

Are the wheels starting to chip already? or is it just the photo?

 

yeah theyre starting to chip. my buddies and i just painted them. we wanted to see how the bronze would look before i jumped in and got em powdercoated. it was more of a boredom thing..but obviously we didnt do a great job because theyre chipping. the wheels and the valve cover will be in my hands wednesday and i'll put em on the car thursday night. i'll make sure to keep u guys updated with pics

 

Cant wait to see them. Ive got the stocks on my gsr as well was wondering how they would hold up if I had them powdercoated.

 

a few ics of the wheels when i first got it done




and the engine bay

 

i never really liked em cuse they ended up coming out brown haha

 

Nice, I think that color bronze looks good if it were solid all the way around the wheel. Definitely different looking but I like it.

 

painted the headlights yesterday afternoon:





painted behind the side markers to tint them a little

 

Nice so far. If you powdercoat your rims bronze, go for a darker color!

 

i actually decided last minute to do a gloss black on the rims..if i do bronze it'll be with a new set of wheels already bronzed. i dont trust powdercoating colors to be one i'll like
