Would of put this up earlier but I wanted my wheels to be a bit of a surprise for the NoCo cruise on the 18th.

So after receiving some money for bonds my mom bought for me over the years I decided to fix the curb rash on my wheels. 2 were pretty messed up, 1 wasn't too bad and somehow 1 wheel was almost perfectly fine.

I also wanted to get them powder-coated or painted and when one shop offered to do both for a bit more than some places for just the wheel refinishing I went for it. They didn't paint the wheels as thoroughly as I thought they would but you can't tell in the photos and it's pretty convincing in person too.

So here is my phantom purple mica hatch with its new royal blue metallic wheels.

Here are my two favorite shots. They are fairly similar but I can't really decide which is better. The first has been exposed better but I like the compostion of the second one more. Any thoughts or critiques on them (or any of my photos) would be greatly appreciated.

Looks sharp man, I like the cleanliness of the paint job and attention to detail. Nice pic!

I actually kinda dig it! When I read the title I thought it was gonna be a disaster, but they look good. Def unique.

Looks good
