Another Restore...
Made my magic happen again! Maybe I am the new B. Gorman haha. JK! We went with a slightly darker shade of the OEM silver so it is called "hyper silver"

Here were the wheels last week





Here are the new wheels for a member!

These are mine! Just recieved them today-BIG props and thanks to Djrabbi. Great guy to deal with.

He had the wheels done and shipped within 1 week, was great for communication, shipped fast, and wheels were packaged for shipping to withstand the apocolypse. There was a whole tree worth of packing paper in my kitchen this morning after I tore the boxes apart. Bombproof.

The finish is phenominal on the wheels too. Super glossy hypersilver that is a shade darker than the OEM finish and much brighter at the same time if that makes any sense. Will post pics once installed on my pewter e55. (waiting on tires)

Thanks again Dj.

Should have gone with gunmetal. Fits the pewter color almost perfectly.

Had many gunmetal/black wheel setups. Wanted something different this time. I like the glossy hyperblack color on pewter but the flat gunmetal doesnt fit my taste.

Sweet...I felt these wheels would be panty-lowering on pewter. Glad it was successful. Thanks for all the compliments.

Looking good and great refinish on the wheels rabbi! To bad I couldn't swing it at the moment or those would have been on my 55?

Next time hopefully
