Great work. Looking forward to seeing how the color matches your car when you mount them.

Looks great! Couple of questions though.

1) Any reason you chose to leave the wheels with the unfinished look?
2) How did you do the lip repair?

1-I was gonna try to attempt a brushed look but when I got them sandblasted I liked the turnout, pictures don't do justice to the look for real, the really look good, just try and picture a fine grainy surface and cleared with a flat clear not glossy so its a "Matt Sandblasted Finish"...oh and I wanted something different.

2-Found A DIY on it by looking at other forums and followed the steps and theres the outcome..

Great job on the repair.
Though wheels look primered.
maybe you can paint them next time you take them off
cant wait to see them on the car

I guess you have to see the wheels in person to appreciate the finish on them.
