Looks pretty sick man, gotta get a pic with it actually on the car. I've thought about doing the same style on my black ss/sc. What kind of paint did you use? And did you sand 'em and everything before painting

Sorry man, don't like it. The only thing that matters is that you like them.

Maybe it's just my eyes slowly dying, but it looks like you missed a spot, last picture, topmost spoke...

no but very similar...he has the sides done and some black around chevy symbol and insdie where the sockets sit..i know because i didn't wanna do EXACTLY the same as him although i did ask him about some stuff on the how-to

they all have a little missing at the top i wanted to keep a little of a full chrome edge around but very very tiny one you can only really se it if your at wheel level all the way around..its prob like 1/16" if that?

****oh btw**** any one have a suggestions on a wax or gloss to do the full wheel without being like a spray..i was thinking more of a wax like hand applicated just as if you were doing ur body work

i have a how-to that i already finished making..i have to make an edit or 2 however i have to wait for the mods to let it pass first although im pretty sure it'll pass unless they hate me or feel its already been done although i feel like its pretty well made up well maybe even better when i have an edit or 2
