Alright a mini update. I got new shoes and started messing around with it. remember these are temp until I save up for some aggressive wheels :D I need something to ride on since I am selling the other wheels. Here are a few pics.

This is when I brought it home and washed it down. (flat black)

I took off the paint on the lip to see how it would look with the black.

http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...Picture018.jpg

Started to strip the paint to chrome
http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...Picture021.jpg
work in progress..

http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...Picture024.jpg

Done! finished to chrome.

Started to tape it up and respray since I am not a fan of chrome but it looked a little nice to me on those wheels for once haha.. (primer white)

Lazy 04-11-09 06:44 PM

Then sprayed it gold.

3 of the diff colors. I couldn't put the black one here because it was already chrome.. They all looked nice to me lol. The white would of been shiny if I used the gloss one with CC on it but not sure about going white on white for my IS..
http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...cture034-1.jpg

Here is the finished project :)

What do you guys think? I didn't get to put it on the car yet because I am letting the paint dry right now and working on the other 2 haha.

Gold will look really good on white. White is hard to keep clean, but Im sure if you searched on myIS. You will find a couple of cars with white on white wheels ;)

Other than that, everything is coming along nicely. Why didnt you keep the ES wheels on the IS? They looked aggressive to me :):D

Gold always looks great on white! Nice ride!
