My new shoes, lighter than expected....

I just picked up my 16" intermilano RG6's on friday, spent friday night sanding them down. and sunday painting. 4 coats of paint, 4 coats of clear. Looks good, a little glossy. Pictures make them look A LOT glossier than they are.
.........................................BUt can u believe it, i thought they were gunna be light around 16-18lbs per wheel. but i get them all done, and only 14 lbs!!! WOOT

the colour is an exact match to my car, so it should flow well. Just gotta save up to get tires... hoping 215/45/16's

WOOT

Enjoy!

14 LBS! and yes the scale works fine, even tho its from the 80's HAHA.


all 4! painted and ready to go. Still gotta paint the inside of the wheel.
