Refinished my wheels, some photos!

I finally removed my spring wheels and refinished my summer wheels, (removed the vinyl black lip, and painted the lips Satin Black with two coats of clear. then added the Red Time Attack ring, yes. again. just like the old car. haha.

Also added some minor CF accents to match the lip and diffuser. enjoy! and repainted the roof spoiler due to that horrible mismatched color :bawling:



















during painting process...



top unpainted but sanded/ bottom painted







during paint...

damn, makes me want to paint my tsw's too. Did you paint your chrome accents yourself?

I want to murder mine out but it'll look lame with the chrome strips still on.

Nice! I've always liked the TSW Bremmas - they look fantastic, look oem (good IMO). They may be a tad heavy but oh well at least you know they'll hold up well!

I vinyl overlayed the chrome strips! not gonna waste time painting them
for some odd reason, I got used to the chrome strips, having it black now looked kinda weird for me.
