What a transformation! Definitely like this scheme a lot more than what was on your old car. Nice work Darren and Jon!

what tires are you going with?

[Darren]

Thanks guys! I'm starting to get that sense of pride in the work I'm really liking the way they turned out. Still a 2-3 foot wheel tho but that's why I said 90% done.

Thanks Fred I am hoping they look just as good on the car. I have front tires, still have no idea what to get for the rear... The fronts are Dunlop sport (something) 255 40 17... All ears for rears!!

Those wheels look great! Nice Job!

Like Joel said, if you get 'em too "perfect" it'll be a pain in the a$$ keeping them up my pro stars are 3 footers as well. they were perfect once, now I just don't care enough to make them "perfect" but once or twice a year, in between I just wipe them off and call it good

Good, those paint fumes are very dangerous. I don't know of any painters who lived to be old. And you a dog that you have to raise, You can't be living on the wild side anymore
If your a painter by trade you must use an OSHA approved spray gun and if you are not in a filtered booth I think your only suposed to spray a max of 4 oz of liquid.

Its nothing super difficult if you are paining a solid color, like everyone said it is all in the preperation. I would consider spraying it in single stage opposed to base coat/clear coat.

3oz ** They take it VERY seriously!!

Looks great Darren! Have you thought about clearing them when you're done polishing like Nate said?

Yes I have, however I have been told that I may need a special type of clear to adhere to the metal... I am still researching potential products to use and reading up on it. I still have two wheels to wet sand and polish so I have time, plus they are not going on the car anytime soon at the moment.

Suggestions on rear tires?

It's metal, you should be fine I'd think?

WHEELS ARE DONE, for now

Thanks! Chrome Irocs are my favorite thirdgen wheels! So I know they would look great.

Still need center cap ideas.... I am thinking something 2 1/2 inch in diameter should work well.

Thoes custom RS caps that guy posted on here would look sweet.

Thoes rims look GREAT!! Nice job Darren.

Sorry about the poor PS work, but I'm getting used to the the stylus pad and I've had a few beers

That was about 5 minutes worth of dickin' around, but you get the point. I don't think white would make the same contrast as the red.
