2 question...
1.) How did you get the red lip on their and how much did it cost to do all 4 wheels?
2.) Do you have any better pictures from different angles, if not can you take some?

The guy who started this thread showed me how to do the red lip. All I used was some red pin stripe and a head gun to make it shrink a little bit and hold on good. To powdercoat my rims cost me like $200ish. Came out pretty good. Here are the only pics I have of my wheels on my computer but I'll take more when I get home if you want...

Has anyone done a white ss/tc with white wheels yet? I did bronze on my silver ss/sc wheels and it looked pretty kick ass IMO. On my ss/tc sedan I was ether thinking of going bronze, hyper black or a darker gun metal.

dude why did you have to show me a picture of my car lowered I hate you now. LoL I agree it looks better lowered but no way I can with my drive and such.
Next time I do them I think This will be the color
Tropic black Its a sick ass powder looks black out of the direct light and has that green flake in it and some red and gold at different angles. SICK

i have been wanting to purchase some aftermarket wheels b/c i kinda got tired of my silver ss/tc wheels. the thing is though, the only wheels i like more than the ss/tc wheels are $3000+ for the set. so i just ended up polishing/painting my wheels. almost done. should be ready by tonight. i'm really liking how they're turning out!
i just took a pic with my phone of 1 wheel i finished. can someone start a new thread for me and send me a pm pls? thread can say "SS/TC Wheels polished face with inner black" and pm me when u did it pls? ( i don't have permission to post new threads =/

well no one started a new thread for me but here they are anyways. I wanted to get the look i have on my camaro. i have the z06 machined wheels with the inside painted black. here is what i'm talking about:
now here is the wheel i just finished polishing/painting today. i didn't know how to get the same finish as my camaro wheels do (the machined finish) but i thought this would look nice as well.
i will take more pics tomorrow during the day of the car with all the wheels finished. took me all day almost. i hope u all like them
sry about the crappy quality of pics. they were taken with my phone. i will get some better ones tomorrow.

Hell yea Once I got the paint stripped It didnt look bad at all to get them buffed out to shine The metal on mine was in great shape under the factory paint.
Def waiting on some better pictures.
