gold typhoons

*NOTE* anyone who copies my idea will burn in eternal hell! lol, even though im sure tons of people have done it before

i had paint damage on one of my wheels so i decided to paint the front pair. i used a metalic gold but with a few coats its dark like a bronze color, here are a few pics, they actually turned out better than i expected.

very nice finish, do you have any pictures of them on the car?

[S14DriftR]

ill take some now, just came back from the tire shop, stretched 205/40/17's on all 4 corners.

[S14DriftR]

before anyone flames i know thats not really much of a stretch at all, but the 8" rears have almost 1/4" of rim sticking past the rubber on each side.

what size spacers?
what size z-brake :)

how hard was it to mask off so you didnt get any on the lip, any close ups of where the spokes meet the lip :)

no close ups, i just masked off the polished part and painted the very inside that wasnt polished, the part thats has the 5zigen stamp. they are 26mm z brakes, i was going to get the 15mm bolt on spacers from tougefactory but have read a few bad things about them.
