ADV.1 wheel makeover

So I decided to redo my ADV1 wheels. Here is what they look like before


I decided to have the inner barrels powder coated flat black and the spokes gloss black. I left the outer barrels chrome. I just like the look of a chrome lip. Started putting them back together tonight.








And put the covers on until tires get mounted on Friday


These 305's will be going on the rear


And yes, that is a minnie mouse towel hanging on the chair in the backgrounds with my kids suits too LOL!

Sorry about the crappy pics. They were taken on the iphone. I will try to get some better pics on Saturday when I throw them on. And yes the car is crazy dirty in the first pic. It is getting a major detail after all the parts go on.

Thanks! Sylicone goes on today and then tires mounted on Friday. Saturday morning I will bring them up to OH to put them on the car. I will get a few shots with them on! May not be the best pics since several pieces of the car are off right now for some changes But I will still post them up!

Nice wheels.

Those would look perfect on my flint! Are those wheels fairly light? Compared to stock?

Also, where did you purchase the wheels from? Thanks!

They would look amazing on your car for sure! I didnt weigh the wheels but they feel about the same as the stockers. I know they arent any lighter. It is really hard to get light with 3 piece wheels. I actually found these wheels on ebay. The guy had them on his car for only a few thousand miles. I actually offered him $1500 less than he had them listed for and he emailed me back a few days later saying we had a deal because he was moving down to Florida and didnt want to take them with him. He was a really cool dude and the wheels were exactly how he described them. That almost never happens lol

Thanks Craig!!! The calipers are getting powder coated as we speak. Should definitely change the look.

Looking good Paul! I can't wait for you to start that build thread

Let me know if you want me to show up with my camera on Saturday & don't forget to hit me up when you get in town.
