@DarkestBuddah

I was waiting for someone to do this with 720 Forms. They're a great value to mod on (much like our cars). Gorgeous work man. Question, are those the stock tires? If so, they seem to fit pretty well stretched on those 9" wheels.

holy fuck, I guess it really is much more expensive over on the west coast. I can have a full set of wheels powdercoated for $300 and $500 for anything fancy, this includes stripping any current color/finish... nonetheless great job on color and wheel choice

Right? The thing keeping me from getting a set is the fact that they only offer them in black with the machined out bits still silver

Damn you! I thought maybe I'd be one of the first to do this. If only they'd arrived by last Friday when I they were supposed to and not delayed.

Mine are 17x8 and I am searching for a shop to do them in a color not dissimilar from Volk Matte Blue Gunmetal.

Yours look amazing!

I'm wondering if I should leave the U beam spokes machined or just go full blue. My car is silver, so leaving them machined might be nice.

Once again. Damn. Looks incredible.

@ApolloSki
haha yes, getting these wheels on my car was a long journey full of tiresome tribulations and delays.
BUT ITS ON NOW!
and the ride feels goooooood


@ajaxthebetter
if you can get them to mask to spokes, it might look really badass with the silver there.
i always love me some blue

its a super unique color. i like it but i think the lugs could be a different color. to break up all that gold. just for more contrast.

Yeah. Its just so hard to envision what it may look like with silver u beams. I think I'll just go for it. Silver lugs. Silver U Beams. Silver valve stems. Just hope it's not too much silver.

Your picture has given me confidence to press forward with Powder. Though, I will say, it is annoying that shops are not responding. So many enquiries, so few responses.
