    Some pix from last fall when I test fitted them on my car with the old tires and flat center caps. I have since sourced the appropriate lugs, center caps with SHO lettering....

    The condition I first got them...

    *update*

    Here are some photos after spraying a coat of the Wurth silver paint. NOTE: no clear yet. These were taken approx. 10 minutes post application.

    This project takes quite a bit of work... and A LOT of paint. Granted I should have started painting the wheel from the inside out, but so far on the face of the wheel, I have gone through 1 bottle of clear, and it`s matte in some areas still...

    This may be a project to postponed until next spring. :cursing:

    Here are two pix after the clear has cured for approx. 24 hours. The face of the wheel needs at least another coat of clear, but after looking them over tonight, the wheel looks pretty decent \m/
