Jess, Those are some clean looking wheels! Those wheels are a pain in the ass to find a clean set. How much did the powder coating company charge you when it was all said and done? (if you don't mind me asking) |  |  | | 09-18-2009, 03:10 AM | #92 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
looks great, I'm not really feeling the red stickers though, it kinda throws off the black and gold theme | | | | | 09-18-2009, 03:19 AM | #93 | | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 |

My camera settings were all jacked up for some reason. Still need a little tweaking, but not bad for a lil 5 megapixel Casio. My buddy already agreed to do a professional shoot once the car is finished  You can definitely see the contrast between the semi-gloss/gloss black a little better in these new pics.

How much did the powder coating company charge you when it was all said and done? (if you don't mind me asking) | Thanks Minninips, the powder coating ended up costing 125 for the centers and 220 for the barrels, so $345 total. Plus a can of Duplicolor primer and a can of Duplicolor semi-gloss black paint for the center caps.

I'll leave them for now and see how I feel once they're on the car. They should look better once I reposition the wheel center in the barrel so it'll line up with the center cap | | | | | 09-18-2009, 06:38 PM | #94 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |

It suddenly occured to me that I have 3 other centercaps. So after trying the remaining caps on the first wheel that I assembled, I found one that lines up perfectly with the decal/valve stem hole. No need to take the wheel apart to reposition the center.  | | | | | 09-19-2009, 02:44 AM | #96 | | Moderator Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: SoCal318ti Posts: 1,574 |

either you're getting an extra set and letting me borrow one when not in use or you messed up the other center caps by accident (lol). __________________
