There is some black that needs to be removed from the silver due to my apparently poor taping. Really thought I did a better job but evidently I didnt.

IMO they look awesome. Powder Coater said that they got tons of attention at the shop and that they had a lot of time into them. Cost me $150 and this was for this set and this set only. Expect 200 min to do a set. I used APEC/ West Michigan Powder Coating in Lake Odessa MI.

The seal directly beneath the opti in the timing cover.

I love the way these wheels look, looking forward to seeing them on your car!

Those rims are epic, Nate.

Congrats on succeeding at which I hath failed! I have to do this to my chromes now.

But that license plate... eh i dont think that is as good of an idea as it sounded lol. I'd paint it black and keep it for function.

I suspect it will be demolished within three weeks of getting the car out. We made it about 75 feet before it was dragging. Literally wasnt on brandy lane yet. lol




Thanks for the compliments guys. Seems like I waited ages for these. Hoping to get tires mounted tomorrow and get them on the car.

Pics on the car.





Fixed some bulbs, put badges back on, painted center caps, and most important..did a burnout on brand new tires. Always wanted to do that.

Took the car back to storage. Tires are noisy, 10 db more than our Focus. For the price, they hook good and look great.

Looks fantastic, Nate!

looks good nate.. however i think silver in the center cap would look much better

Ive been rethinking about my tire purchase. It was either the Nittos or Nexens, going Nexens save me some money to get new lugs and other misc items. LMK how the tires are if you plan to put miles on them within the next week or so. Ordering my wheels and tires end of month
