I bought some summer wheels for my beloved MCS. The finish on them was peeling and very rough.
Im in the process of refinishing them and I want to know your oppinion!


Here is a picture of the wheel on the car I did as a test before I had the tires removed.




Here is a wheel after just one application of the paint stripper.




Here are two partially stripped wheels sitting beside my MCS...


I am thinking that I may polish them out because they are coming out pretty good with just the stripper... they were probably polished before the previous owner painted them black. That and I still have all of the chrome accents around the car. (headlights, window trim, door handle, gas door, fender markers and the polished ALTA exhaust tips)


Though my fiancee said she liked them in black on my car when we did the test fit.

If you have any other color suggestions too that would be appreciated.

Polished w/black accents FTW!

 

nice work so far! How about black with polished lip?

 

I like they way they are now.

Black except for the outer rim and spokes, easier to keep clean looking and to polish but you will need to keep the polish up or clear coat if you want which is also fine.


Should look similar to this-

Your doing a nice job!! I like polished.. I never had any luck with clear coated ones though..lol..

 

I ended up painting them. Hope to have them mounted this week. I have been super busy with my fabrication work.

 

Painted silver looks good, keep them clean to preserve the finish.
Brake dust is bad if left on the wheels.
