or black but with a red stripe half way through the radious of hte wheel…lol… or maybe i’ll paint match the WRB…

oh oh oh… i’m also thinking of really crazy custom vinyl decals for the car… like not permenant, for competition only.

i can have magnetic vinyl done up cut to match the door size and then have images printed on it.

was thinking it might be funny to have some really edgy shit on it… like a picture of OSAMA and i’ll have Al Qaeda Drift Team or something… looking for Suicide Bombers 1-800-EXP-LODE.

or

an image of a dude with his face blurred

If you do any black, do not do ANY polished. Black with polished = played out and looks like crap. Shot peened centers for Classic’s look cool (played out gold centers that look amazing or some whacky color). I loved mine full polished, but I took awhile to get them like that.

where do you even take wheels to get polished like that? what is the cost?

i think just cleaning them up and having the centres painted is my best bet… i dont wanna spend $400 making the wheels pretty… i dont care that much

Mine were originally ruined by the PO, but were polished straight from CCW. I then pulled them off, and spent a few evenings and cases of beer working on them with a dremel with a cotton attachment and some mothers polish. Most CCW’s will polish out fairly easily.
