Here's a more recent pic (before greddy evo II) with the anodized black lugs I put on.... Looks much better in black. Sorry, I know it's a crappy shot, but it's the only one have right know, cuz I got the center caps off right now for repainting.
Thanks for all the compliments fellas!

Son of a bitch...I have this scheduled to be done in a week. I never would have thought that someone else would have already done it!
The guy who's powder coating mine is charging me $50/wheel, including sandblasting.
Haven't been sure what exactly I wanted to do with the center caps. You said that you've got them pulled off to repaint. Are you using the same paint this time? What are you using and how long did the first coat last before chipping, etc?
Guess our rides will be a little different. I was going to do the center cap logo in white.
Glad to see you have already done it. I was worrying about whether I'd like the look or not.
Verdict's in...It's gonna be $200 WELL spent!!!!

Same paint job. before it was shitty prep work, and masking so it chipped really easily within the first few weeks. This time I'm sanding completely, using plastic adhesive promoter and clear coating afterwards. wish me luck!
