My new wheels *updated**again* possible 56k issues

[strap-on]

Since brad and sam were complaining they didnt get a look heres the picture of trade me:



Ive started stripping the paint back, (the stripper brad sold me does a good job, but due to the curve of the wheel you can only scrape of a 5 mm wide band at a time so it takes ages, and it doesnt like taking off the primer either)

I will try find my camera charger so i can get some pics of the painting process.

what color you painting them numpty

[strap-on]

Pretty much the same colour, or white i havent decided yet. Im painting them just because the paint is so crap ATM

[NILPSI]

To me they look very similar to motoforms, i think they will improve the look of the car heaps!!

NZW=Motoforms

They are really good wheels and are not to heavy but still strong enough to take a few bumps without bending. I got my set when NZW/Motoform liquidated and sold out all the remaining stock.

[Alex B]

Damn, that doesnt come up to bad at all, is that the plasticote wheel paint?

[strap-on]

Its just duplicolor wheel paint you can get it from repco, that is silver but it also comes in graphite, white, a black a bronze and a clear coat which you can put over the top to make it shinier, i rean out of money so opted to not have the clear coat, im just gonna put a few layers of wax on them instead.

It needs to be somewhat lower dude, but it looks good apart from that, much better than before!

[Dell'Orto]

Somewhat lower? I think there is a refugee family hiding in the front guard there

[strap-on]
