My week-end projects.
 
I got a couple things done this week-end that I had been wanting to do for a while.
First off got the wheels painted flat black, and will be putting the new rubber on this week, by the way the SS wheels are pretty lite I was surprised 22.5lbs

Cool! Can't wait to see what the flat black wheels look like on the Victory Red! :cool: I'll bet they will be very sharp!

Did you do anything special to prep to get the paint to adhere better? Are you doing anything different with the center caps?

I think those tires will look awesome on there also. :thumb: Hope your happy with the grip and treadwear. Let us know your findings!

Looks good what was your process for painting the wheels.

Taped off were I didnt want paint...hardest part, then we scuffed the area to be painted with a red scotch brite pad, then painted used the single stage dupli-color wheel paint it looks really good in person we will see how they hold up to tire install monday. Also I just painted the center caps may paint the bow-ties red later.
