Default DIY at it's finest...I think!!! 56k Nope

About a month ago I started a little project...

I took the wheels that I had already did one mod to. (painted the back part of the red red). off the car to start project Flip Flop.

4 cans later...

I have these...

2 more cans later...

Then I had a small paint mishap....Lets just say I stripped all the wheels back down to bare metal...

Then started all over again...
Finished them up yesterday morning...Baking in the AZ sun...

Now they are now on the car!!!






All that time and effort is will worth it to have a truly 1off set of wheels...What do you think???

Oh yeah...This was all done with spray paint!!!

Also, what drop is that? There's a new guy in our crew who needs to drop his egg... that's a nice drop on there.

it's seems like you did a lot of work, but they just don't seem attractive to me... They are decent, but nothing special IMHO.

Sorry if I offend you or anything; I don't mean to.

Nice job! Not normally a fan of hand-painted rims, but those came out great.
I like the tires too - just put a set on my tC.

Wow! I mean I'm not to fond of the design of the wheels.
But I am very impressed with the work you put into them and how they came out. I think these look great. Very well done.

Thanks all...I know this look is not for everbody. But I haven't seen one other wheel done this way.

Since I'm usually the only xA at car shows here in phx...I might as well really stand out.

Raceronabudget....Would you beleive is all rattle can....Duplicolor mirage for the lip, and High performance wheel coating for the face.

When I saw the first pic of the rims done I thought "that's not going to mesh well with the color of the car" but it actually looks sweet as hell on there. Nice job man.

wish i had the guts to paint my rims that mirage color. i tried a doing it to a set once and the results were not that great. they looked fine from far, but up close you could see all the mistakes. great job.
