Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

My "new" rims....

Now powdercoated Anthracite and on my car. Still with the Shitstone tires... I'll get them wrapped in sticky rubber next spring. I don't feel like having new tires mounted for 3 autocrosses, then paying to have them switch back to these for the winter then putting them back on if I can just pay once next spring for it.
Oh... and yeah... I still need a drop... thanks for noticing.

Now if you'll excuse me... I borrowed the kick *** digicam from work... and it has video mode....

Yeah... one of these times that I have the rims off, I gotta remember to pull the splash guards off.
Powdercoating cost $140 + the $50 to dismount and remount the tires.

It's not paint, it's powdercoat.

And I'm NOT selling the Superleggeras unless someone wants to give me enough money to buy Advan RGs. I'm driving on these because I've trashed the other tires racing and I'd like to save them a little bit. I don't feel like spending another $500 on 17" tires this year.

You had just done a DYI charcoal paint job on them I thought...were you concerned about the looks or the durability of the DYI job? They looked pretty good to me!

The paint started chipping off when I sprayed them with a garden hose to clean them off the next day. So I decided to un-ghettofy it and just get it done right do it didn't get messed up on the road. The wheel enamel stuff is pure ****... I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
