Got my rims re-done

I've had these TSW Kyalami's for about 2 years. And they've had their share of battles from the roads and weather. 2 were bent and all of them needed some refinishing. I love these rims so I decided to save them lol. I didnt want to shell out over 1g for some new rims. When I bought them they were silver with a not so polished lip. I wanted a more updated look so I got them powder coated gold. Here are some before and after shots. In total for the work, refinishing and painting and also full high polished lips. 500 bucks.

This is what they looked like when I first bought them


Here is what they looked like after it was sanded...


Now here is what they look like now....


The not so finished product. The center caps are being painted...

Yes they are in the process of being painted. You cant powdercoat them.

Lol, nah I got you. I've already ordered some center cap emblems. Had the same feeling before they were even on the car.
