i got caught

Ha. What was her reaction? Also, what car do you plan on using those nice looking wheels on?

she actually didnt care that much. she just gave me "the look".

they are bbs rs 3 piece and they are going on my M2. i got new lips to widen the rears and CJ hooked me up with new center caps and emblems. i bead blasted the centers yesterday. just need to powdercoat or paint and assemble now. cant decide which to do.. any opinions? remember its freezing up here. otherwise id just take them outside and paint them. but my cars are all inside in storage so i cant paint in the garage.

I'd powder coat them. I use the sears powder coat system and love it. Found an old 220v oven for free on craigslist and can now coat wheels and anything else that fits in there. Works better then most might think.

I had my RS powdercoated and they look great.

The only slight problem I found is that the center caps didn't seem to fit as easily as before due to the extra thickness of the powdercoating as compared to regular paint.

thanks guys. check this out. here is a guy with more balls than me. i sold a set of wheels to bob ferman and he sent me this pic when he refinished them. obviously they look great and i jokingly asked him if he painted them right there in the kitchen. here is what he replied with

"I shot em in our bedroom, but I have a scented candle going. Maybe I need two..."

hahahahah im still laughing about that

Ahh! And I thought I was the only one! This does a great job on floor mats too.

I usually go with the standard thinking: "it is easier to ask forgiveness than ask for permision".

So far I am still alive.

Steve, if it's to cold outside to paint 'em, just wait 'til your wife steps out again. turn on the bathroom exhaust fan and paint ' em in there. When wife returns, don't lie, just tell her, "I wouldn't go in there - it smells pretty bad."

You boys are fastidious !

Keep up the good work.

Those are going to look so good on the M2. What color are you going to paint them? I would love some black ones on my car but that probably would not look as good on your car.

call me boring but im going with as close to stock bbs silver as i can get with powdercoat. i think its just a classic look i wont tire of.. they will look very much like alvins wheels in the twin turbo thread
