Had my winter wheels powdercoated...

[Element]

Couple shots from the guy doing my powder coating. These are my winter wheels that I've used for the last 4 winters. 3 years on my RX-8 and one year on my Speed3. They used to be black with a chrome lip but they were heavily oxidized and pretty nasty looking.

Hmmm neat color. Be insteresting to see how it looks on the True Red. Better than looking old and oxidized!

My summer wheels are Time Attack themed RX-8s.

The winter rims are TE-37 knock off rims. I hate the look of donuts and these were fairly cheap.

Thats the color I was aiming for. In person they look pretty much spot on.

Here are some pics on the car. Excuse the dirty wheel wells and car. It's been pouring rain here for the past few days and finally cleared up enough so I could snag some pics. I will try and get some pics in the sun later as well.

Y'know, at first I didn't think a dark metallic blue would work on True Red, but now I dig it.

Local guy who just wanted them gone. He tried to paint them himself but failed miserably.

[Saskatchewan17]

Wow... what condition are they in?

[Falango]

Won't it be tougher finding winter tires for 18s though, for the second set of RX8 rims?

[rmgedon69]
