Got them back from Roto-Blasting

[Jmesl8er]

So after I hit that crater and destroyed my wheel, I took it to the wheel doctor to get it fixed, he did a hell of a job. Before:

After:

When they grind the weld down, they're going to have to polish the lip. It will end up shiny like chrome, which will be different from the other rims. So I've decided to get them all sandblasted, and powdercoated Flat Black, and keeping the bolts around the face chrome. Also new tires, 225/45/18's. Maybe a red chevy emblem in the center caps, here's pics:
Bolts for the face

Center Caps

Rims without them

Here they are fresh out of the Roto-Blaster, ready to get powdercoated
Tell me what you guys think of my plan, any suggestions???

Powdercoat flat red or wrinkle red

 

[Jmesl8er]

Not a big fan of color matching, only red will be on the chevy symbol in the center cap

 

[06CobaltLS]

Flat or glossy black

 

[cobalt123]

Do flat black a glossy black will look flat In months

good luck getting bolts back in after powder coating it's thick stuff... get a tap set.

Black will go better with the car than red. Too much red n a little changeup is good
