Default Update on my wheels. 19" Koenig WRV

I bought a set of Koenig WRV's a few months ago that were curbed pretty bad and some parts of the paint on the face were peeling (I found out later it had corrosion). Here's what it looked like on my car:









Here are some upclose shots.










Anyway, I've decided to get them all redone which entails fixing all the curb rashes on all four wheels, repolishing the lips and repainting the face. I took it to SABS, which is a local Houston shop that almost everyone knows about, tthat does incredible work. I only take my wheels there and they stand behind their work. Art (the owner) is a really nice guy and will take care of you. Anyway, I went by there tonight to see how the wheels turned out. You tell me... I think they look great

Machine polished (brushed) and clearcoated and the lips are perfect.



Upclose


can't wait to get these back on the car and take some pics.

You have a very nice car. I should've done the black roof a LONG time ago. My painter did a great job and everyone who sees the thinks I have a panoramic roof

Thanks Marty. All I need left is an exhaust to finish the car. Any leads?
