  • a night with 2pack(style 5 content)

    i picked up a set of rc010 and rc009 style 5s a month or so ago, and they were in pretty foul condition





    so i stripped what clear off i could, then sent them off for sandblasting, picked them up thursday





    that night, hozy, my mate and member here, had organised with another mate to get his e39 front lip painted saturday, so we decided to do the wheels aswell.

    was a late as hell night, sanding, painting, beers, pizza and chips!! we got done around 4am, as ari had to bail to go pick up his missus from the airport a bit later.

    unfortunately the wheels and lip were still fresh, and copped a couple scuffs and scrapes putting them in the car in the pouring rain

    heres a few pics from the night, more here on hozys facebook

    will update with assembled pics later this week























    lip, centers and barrels are cosmos schwarz, with a blue flake on the barrels(ari and hozy decided the lips needed something "extra" while i was having a nap :p

        got them cadmium plated in gold, but it ended up being a normal gold, not bright. waiting for them to come back to me, which should be next few days.

                honestly, theyre far from perfect. some nufty put dents in the lip face of all 4 wheels when removing tyres(not to mention the lip face had stick on wheel weights :S), and theres some decent rash still there.

                thats why i went black instead of polishing(and its something different), but theyre going to be driven on daily, so i didnt feel the need to go all out. i am happy with the difference from when i got them though!

                    need to wetsand and buff the lips, but i think the gold bolts suit nicely. probably get them assembled this weekend

                        Not so sure about them. They look kindof spongy.
                        U should have polished the lips, then they would look amazing

                        Cheap ain't badass, badass ain't cheap.
