Post by: MaLicE on August 27, 2010, 05:00:39 PM
needed new tyres... decided to split my rims and refurb them, was just going to paint them but visited a powdercoaters and saw a finish i wanted and they did it :D

started as a bit of a mess tbh

so stripped and started polishing... (i actually hate polishing now lol!)

rims were corroded to hell!

not quiet finished but a huge improvement

got the centres back today, hard to photograph but basically its like a midnight purple (skyline colour) with glitter and a pearl in :)

What a difference, they look great!! I spent 3 days on my Veilside wheels, it was a nightmare but i wasn\'t going to pay £600 to get them done.
