Stang302 is where I got my rims from and one was bent so I just bought one off ebay.

You should paint the center Argent.
Would look cooler with a darker center.

Find me someone who can do it and still leave the machined lip, that would be awesome.

I'm gonna have my BBS's done when I get them. Any paint shop can do it pretty much.

Not powdercoating. Just paint and clear. If you have them done at a paint shop (not DIY) they will hold up just as well as powdercoating and look even nicer. Ussually around the same rates as powdercoating too ($50-75/wheel). If you have seen Bob's S4, he had his centers painted gunmetal and left the polished lip on his HRE's. Looks sick.

I could prob get wheels blasted and coated for a case of beer. I'd have to check.

Take the other wheel that is bent, cut it in 1/2 and make it into a clock.

I'll buy ya a keg if you can get the whole set done for me (one of the many sets that is)

Its not really a he, its a they, but, I am sure a group buy could be arranged if enough people where interested, they do quite a few colors, blacks are the most popular. Generally a 4 week turn around time, usually comes in and sits around for 2-3 weeks, so sneaking shit in would be cake.

I am getting a pumpkin blasted and coated right now for free.

Eleanor Focus · Tue Jan 02, 2007 6:35 pm

Hey I was first, but we should do a group buy on this, and throw one serious party

Well fuck, you guys want wheels done, I'll ask for sure then...

How many and what colors lol.

I'll talk to the guy in r&d, he does a lot of the powder and spray related shit.
