if u want like an outer hoop for a meister or maybe one spoke. thats not that bad, but multiples they wont do because they think ur making all new wheels.

u can get "replacement" pieces.. but not too many

That makes sense.... I could get these pieces through you or any other work dealer correct? Would it take a hella long time, especially if you have a color other than a standard color?

That looks so much better. Now all I need to do is find some bronze paint that matches the wheels......

Bronze might be tough to find...........might just have to go with regular paint. Maybe Home Depot or someplace might have some high temp paint in bronze.

NO,

THE WHOLE POINT OF THE BLACK PAINT IS TO MAKE THE HUB "INVISIBLE" its like a fat chick wearing a black dress.. makes her look thinner cause less visible..

black makes it out of view..

bronze wuld just draw attention to it

I think as long as you mask off the area around the hub, it shouldnt be a problem. Just take your time.

If your using caliper paint it will be really easy becuase you brush that on. Spraying it might be a little trickier, but not impossible.
