Thats awesome, don't do the lip.

Wow those look stunning! They're going to match your SL-i & Pig stickers perfectly.

Looks like you spent a while on the wheels and did it right - Nice work.

no center cap?

[HeresMyMind]

No, no center cap. it looks more like a after market rim without them. I decided against the pink lugs because it wasn't matching the decals i had unfort. so here are some finished pics. also one of my stock grill shaved, bonded and drying..

Looking good.

You should of used sticky weights on the inside of the wheel, rather then the regular weights..it kills the paint once you take it off.

and lower that thing!! :grin:

Awesome.
So.. the tires are on the rims when you painted them?
See, this is why I love this forum. I actually considered painting my own stock GT rims but decided against it because I wasn't sure how that was going to turn out.

I wanted to re-work my grill but wasn't sure how that was going to turn out.

About 99% of all things I wanted to do has been done here and now I have proof in concept.

Nice work on those wheels. Now I have something to think about as I work on my other issues.
