I got really sick of my xB looking like all the others with the same exact wheels and most in town. Although my pocket book isnt huge enough to buy the wheels i want and the lips were banged up so i changed these up a bit.



I think it turned out pretty good. Waiting a few days with them in the 100*+ heat to completely cure.

 

Is that plastidip?

 

no, its a high heat durable flat paint.

 

Looking good. Very clean job

 

Very cool

 

very nice work they look great

 

Very nice, can't wait to see them on.

 

It looks really good, nice job.

 

I like it! any pic of it on the car?

 

Not yet, they're still curing in the heat for another day or two. I wont be able to work on it again until Sunday so it should be around then.

 

Can't wait to see, looks great

 

thanks everyone. I got my last tire patched, had a star socket head lodged in my tread. But now its primed and will be painted tonight if i have time. Hopefully Sunday i can install them!

 

 

holy shizz, what a difference. those look so sweet!

 

Great job Sam! Did you clearcoat after?

 

I never thought about doing that.....looks sick bud. I didnt like my lips so I sanded and had them polished to a mirror shine it made a huge difference, but I'm kinda thinking I want to go with a another look so I'll prob let someone else take them off my hands.....kinda thinking about going the other direction and maybe some 16's

 

Holy crap! More info on the polish!

 

xseveredveganx it took me almost a day a wheel to sand them I made a jig and used a hand drill to adapt them on. I can control the speed via the pressure I use with the sand paper. The TRD wheels come with a thick coat of clear so its no fast process. I then stepped my sand paper all the way to 1500 I could go further but I like the way they look now and if I want to I can just hit them with some polish anytime and they come right back. I'm looking to go to maybe some 17's or even 16's now so these need to find a new home.

 

They look good.

F.Y.I

You can always use JB Weld to fill in curb rash

 

I see Scion has the new TRD's with a Black out version....follow this link...a bit of other good stuff added to their site.
