Heist's Build Thread.

damn! i dont know why I didnt see this before

im in!

[Heist]

Did a quick and dirty photoshop of the wheels. Really not the copper I'm looking for, but gives you an idea. I want to plate it then allow it to oxidize and occasionally polish it. so its a 50/50 look.

[Dirty Thirtie]

nice!! what color are you going on the car?

[Heist]

sem jet black, but I'm not positive on it, still have some time to think about it.

[Riley_J]

i'm hopefully going to be grabbing a nice 02 in the next week or so fingers crossed
just out of curiosity what sort of width/offset ranges can you run on these??

[kristoffer]

Great job, cant wait to see it finished!

HALLO!

The BMW 2002 is a piece of art and what your doing to the car just made is so fucking awsome

[Heist]

Riley_J- I'm really not sure I went into it with what I wanted and made it work. If you go on 2002faq.com and look up the "stance thread" people put in the offsets and stuff. It should help you.

kristoffer- thanks! It should only get better

[Heist]

I think this is more appealing. It will make a much better contrast from wheel lip(copper)-rubber(black)-fender(gloss black)
(copper will be a lot brighter, but I'm struggling with photoshop today)
more of my style.

That looks quite rusty

Black centers make the wheel look smaller which i usually dont like. but as the 17s are really big for a 02 it actually works pretty good! Would the centers then be glossy?
Copper colored lips will be the shit!

[Heist]

I agree they do make the wheel appear smaller, which is good in my situation. Also the copper will give more depth to the lips compared to black so overall I think it would work out better in this situation.

[hinrichs]

i like the idea of the copper lips and letting them oxidize...would be such a cool look

[X5X]

Nice build

[BrokeBrewKnow]

Just read most of the thread nice work it will be sick when its done!

[Raarasutra]

I love the idea, go for it!

[Heist]

Just to see what I was up against I emailed rotiform about it and this is the price I got....

Disassembly/reseal: 80$
stripping and powder coat faces: $320
copper plating lips: $360 add $140 for clear.

dismount/remount would be an additional: 100$

I'm going to try to do it all for under 200$ in my garage
