Default The Lighter Side of the Spectrum

So, I had my new set of OEM wheels powder coated white with the machined face. I like them, but still need to figure out if these are track wheels, or if I switch my daily driver tires onto them.

I figure you guys are gonna flame away, so I'm ready. Oh, and no comments from Popeye, as this represents more modding on my car, then he has on his.

Yup, this is what Gary got. I actually said to the guy at the counter, "Just like GB, but white instead of black."

I consider the finish an A- to B+, as they got some dirt particles in the clear, and it looks like they needed to slow down the feed rate when machining the surface. Other than that I really like them.

Very nice John.

I give my finish the same grade, but I am happy with that. For about $500 I feel like I get a new set of wheels.

Imagine that, QC issues at Wheel Molestors!

John I like the look. I am 50/50 on using white for daily driving. I think it would look great, but be tough to keep clean given the rate at which the pads spew brake dust.
