I dunno exactly how to explain in English but I'll try:

They have several foil already with or without carbon patterns or shapes.
The foil they put on the water, where the wheels will be dipped into it (hydro printing). After it is dry they put a white shiny coat on it…

They can do that with every object!
Most people here do that with their furniture or for small parts for your car, it seems more better wrapping your parts like your mirrors for example.

I paid for each wheel 175 euros, i think wrapping would be cheaper but hydro printing looks me better

To be honest, H20 print / hydro-dipping is what I don't like the most.
I think your wheels looked better in black with a polished lip.


Here are a few iphone pics - the car was raised about 2cm before the winter.

DAMN your car is a beast too!

But your wrap turned into blue/grey???
I prefer matt black

Will you give your brakes a color, maybe in shiny black too?
I tured mine in red, looks better

The wheels were black before but I got bored of black wheels.
Yes, the color turned into a shade of blue/grey.
I don't know why, maybe because the color underneath is black.

I hope the color fades away a little over time.

I'm not a fan of fluorescent colors on wheels except on drift cars.

I wanted to do brown but changed my mind to gunmetal in the last second.
I might buy a can of brown and try it out without removing the gunmetal dip.

Reckon a darker bronze would look good against the black.

Had some rays in bronze on my CSL till I got them sprayed gunmetal and they looked very ' Motorsport ' in the bronze.

I know the color turned out weird but don't have time to re-do the wheels now.
I'll see how the plasti-dip holds up. If it's durable, I might try plasti-dipping them brown in December.

After the winter, they are getting a full spa treatment - I want to give them the OEM look with a polished face and grey spokes

I picked up a set of new CF mirror covers for my car… 1 hour before the engine died.
Design inspired by the A45 AMG Edition 1.
Anyway, I really like the way they tuned out

The coolant fluid disappeared because a hose detached from the coolant reservoir.
