New pics of my Smoothie II's Powdercoated black/polished lip

Just had them powdercoated black and the lip repolished then the entire wheel shot with clear coat. The pictures really dont do it justice(for now i plan on taking time for pics in a few days)

But they make the car look meeeeeeeaaan. And now that its currently open LT's it scares people sh*tless when i roll up next to them

Killer looking wheels. Who did the powder coating and clear coating?

I will be looking for some inexpensive (maybe dinged) wheels to powder and clear coat.

Re: New pics of my Smoothie II's Powdercoated black/polished lip

I run 275's up front(nitto nt555r's) and 295's in the back eagle f1 supercars.

As for the powdercoating, i had a place local to me do them, i paid ~$450 for everything. Repolishing, powdercoating, clearcoating. Had i just had them powdercoat them it would have been around $35 a wheel. But if i did it i was gonna do it right.

And thanks for the compliments guys. The wheels got complimented before but now people roll down their windows at lights and tell me my car is f'in sick. It makes my day everytime

The natural polished lip really makes the difference by separating all the 'mean' black that is happening with your car. Have you submitted pics to the wheel manufacturer? You should. Maybe they would name their version after you.

Thatd be awesome but i think they would get in trouble from Ford Motor Co. for naming the wheel ford

And thanks for the compliment!

I was looking at your CarDomain because I wanted to see a picture of your billet grill along with the front of your car, but I didn't see one.
