I agree with the PS. I may have it put on down the road to change up the look of the wheels.

psuball1

that 3 series is a great looking car. I like what he did with the emblem on the trunk. He must have had red and the changed it to silver or vice versa.

Not the same! I have some HREs and my painter wanted to do the same paint the lips gloss and the face flat with a red pinstripe to match my brembos! thats why I wanted to see your paint. I think im gonna go all gloss with red pinstripe. (tryin to be different than the normal flat black) these are just tester rims untill another set I have ordered comes in.

Are you guys powdercoating or painting? If painting, are you getting clear coat, too?

My powdercoated rims turned out really well, but they already have some very small nicks in them from the Targa run. Friggin rocks!!

ROCKETW19

painting then I belive a powder clearcoat not 100% sure about the clear?

jangy

Do you get chipping at all? Could you check and see what the procedure is for me? I finally got the wheels I like and I want to re-do the color on both sets. I HATE the polished lips on these HREs. HATE!!

ROCKETW19

I dont know about chiping cuzz they are not painted yet, but they will start tomorrow. Ill ask how or what they did. I agree the polished lips are retarted.

jangy

Sweet, thanks.

I told you that you would hate the polished lip. My paint chips waaay too easy. I'm going to have ed powdercoat them one of these days

I don't think that my wheels have cc on the face but they do on the lips and barrell. I don't think the wheels would look as flat black if the face was cc.

jangy

Yup, I'm hoping to take my car to HMS after VRP for some cosmetic stuff (paint calipers, fins, etc.) The chipping is a pain. I have a matching sharpie, so I can cover it but i know they won't last my abusive driving for long.

jangy

I'd assume yours are powdercoated centers. That is what HRE has gone to as well. The don't CC the poliched lips, though and they are monsters to keep clean (not that I have ever done it). I just don't like the look. Even if they were chrome, i still wouldn't like em. i'm really thinking to have the entire lips painted red.

psuball1

The lips painted red would be pretty sweet. I have seen pics of exotics with lime green, yellow, electric blue, red lips...

jangy

Dude, where have you been? you seem to be a gear head and have an E55 with some uniqueness to it. Heck, half your posts are just us two going back and forth. you should have been here before. We cool now? I really am sorry. No excuses, just stupid.

Yeah, I'm gonna ask shake to photoshop em for me and see. I figure I hate the polished and chrome look, so i have to go with something. I just want to do it right, since all the wheel break down and build up will be costly at HRE.

Nice looking wheels..but i think its even better with the red PS.

sick430

dude that looks so sick. i even like the cover it stands out nicely. something different

psuball1

no worries man!! I am over it. I have always been into cars just not too many forums.

Here are a few pics of Porsche cars from i-forged.

jangy

I think I'll give it a shot. candy apple red, here I come. Lips, calipers, and intake manifolds.

psuball1

I'm a fan of different so I say go for it!!!

ROCKETW19

yellow P-car is sick is that your also?

ROCKETW19

you should anodize the lips gold with black centers. I see it and it sounds silly but looks sick. then again candy red would look crazy also. I love anything different.

ROCKETW19

+1 I like different also.

SaMaS

car looks nice ! I like wheels and engine bay ! Good job !

psuball1

no, the yellow porsche is a gallery pic on the i-forged website.
