powder coated wheels

Post by ezernut9mm »

getting ready to put the stock 15x5.5 wheels back on the front. had them sandblasted and then powder coated a generic white. these pics don't do them justice. they are smooth like buttah... lol. i'm really pleased with how they came out. i hope to do the same with some 15x8's for the rears.

Hey Ez..

That's still not too bad considering the way they look...
I'd love to find some 22's that arn't split rims, that would fit Olde Skool and have them done that way...

Thanks KaptnKA 8) S

that looks great. be careful when mounting the tires.. you don't want to have them scratched up.
