Refinished wheels
So the ST160 wheels I want (group buy on this site) will take almost 3 months to be made , so **** that, I'm not waiting that long.

Got my current wheels burned, blasted, and powder coated for $300 CND

Still need to find these fake bolts, cause I had to drill a few out. Off to a hardware store that sells all kinds of nuts/bolts/fasteners to see if I can find something similar.

wheels look good... give the wheels some pop and paint the rivets a different color or get them chrome plated.

Nah. I am sick of cleaning wheels. Even with low dust brake pads, my commute is mostly stop-n-go, in an area that gets lots of rain. Its hard enough to keep the car clean, nevermind the wheels.

The rivets and lugs will be black, a matte black to give some contrast. I am going to dip them in plasti-dip, as painted lugs don't hold up, hopefully the rubberized coating will.

Matte black. I may still get them and sell these, yet for now I didn't want to wait. I'm sick of the polished lip and rivets look. So hard to keep clean.
