    First two are the best. Gloss black barrels/flat black lips with gold or silver hardware looks nuts.

      2nd pic looks awesome. and maybe if you did the lips the same as the 4th pic and the centers black that could be good too. if you don't want something plain id generally stay away from those colours. or you could do glow in the dark!

          I've really been thinking about the flat black faces with gloss bronze lips. Probably have gloss black bolts instead of the polished bolts. Not sure yet tho

            most paint places or powder coaters would be able to do it, you would probably have to special order the paint or flakes is all. hell you can get glow in the dark paint at home depot

              Well spoke with the powdercoater the other day. He said he's got some pretty cool ideas for them too. I have put them up for sale though just in case someone is interested in them, and would like them to be finished however they want.

                Well guys I think I have decided on a color for the wheels. Looks like I'm gonna get 3" lips to replace the 2", and polish them and paint the faces this color. Not sure about bolt color just yet tho....

                  Color's nice..Too much flake for me though. Gold/polished bolts would be nice.

                    I just can't stand anything too plain tho. Probably doing polished bolts

                      Well guys I'm on my way to pick up the faces. Decided to keep them a little conservative since they are a little rare around these parts, and don't wanna take away from the wheel itself. Lips should be done sometime this week too. Here's a little sneak peek of them...

                          Well I spent almost the entire day yesterday polishing up the tarnished and terrible looking bolts. Got them set down into the lips and also got my new caps in thanks to another member on here. Here's a couple crappy quick snaps

                              LOL sold from under and you had him wait two weeks... not being mean, just sounds hilarious you would phrase it like that unless you put down a deposit or something.

                                I did have a deposit down...that's why he "sold them from under me"...am I the only one who hears that phrase...Kind of like how the guy I was buying caps tickets from sold the tickets he offered me after I accepted the deal he offered
