I honestly don't know much about painting chrome, although it does look easy some skills are still needed.

savclaude

WHARE ARRRRR THE UPDATESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS???

potmilkz

you actually bought those hre's? the dude jordan has been trying to sell those for about a year and a half now on los angeles craiglist.. how much did you pay for them? because i know he was asking for alot for those wheels..

savclaude

haha updates will be here soon, have been real busy lately work is packed but once I have some free time it will be good

yes I
bought them they were a bit pricey but I 1st of all wanted something really light these are forged wheels, then they were originally 5x114.3 no redrill, they are custom step lip and they are discontinued if i'm not mistaken he wanted $3200 I got them for $2900 shipped which I think was fair for a wheel that goes for 8k+

potmilkz

oh ok.. i heard there was curbs on the lips.. is that true?

savclaude

Not a single scratch on the lips they refinished before they were sold, only the faces had some minor scratches but I already took care of that

^^ thanks sir

I did forget about this I recently got my fenders roll thats about it haha





I guess I'll post this here also I recently painted my boy s2k and now he has a full future on Superstreet

I was about to say that I didn't see a heat gun in the fender rolling pic....saw the blow torch.

savclaude

aiight some more update like I previously said I redid the faces by going with a fine and brighter silver nothing crazy,now into pics

faces were sanded with 400 grit sand paper



then sealed to cover up all sand scratches



then base was applied



then cleared, the one on the left is unpainted and the right is freshly painted



while I was at it a also purchased brand new genuine HRE center caps since the others were a bit dented



and also decided to gold dip the bolts



and for the final product







tires are next...

Did your Mugen side skirts come with the hardware brackets for installation?

savclaude

thanks

thanks man



Yes u did

thanks

thanks

no I sent them to a place in Sacramento to be done

thanks

thanks

really? Thanks man

me neither

yes everything, screws, double side tape and a small manual.Did u get one?

BaoZZeR

I like the gold bolt look but I think you should have have went gold lip!

savclaude

^ that look quite nice but a bit flashy for my taste, I only want the details to be noticeable inches away

iSeeYouTwo

Every time you update this thread I open it hoping you put the wheels on already lol

savclaude

^ trust me man I can't wait to have them on 2 but the 10hrs shift a day is brutal, i took the wheels apart nearly a month ago and I painted them last week end haha but I'm so glad I did cause painting mesh wheels is a PITA specially getting between the spokes without getting dry spot or runs since I'm picky, each face took me about 20mns, now all I gotta do is torque the bolts, install tires, some more low and camber haha and I'll be rolling

I plan on ordering the Mugen sides instead of the US version aero sides... Looks better IMO.

waaasobe

those rims are soo sick, i cant wait to see them on your car !

opboarding

Gold lip looks dumb. Glad you didn't do that.

I'm excited to see the wheels on.

iCrap

Yeah gold lips look terrible. These look great though although i think i the Type S wheels still look better.
