Decided to change the color of my wheels. Eastwood classic BBS mettalic gold.

Big thanks to my buddy Derek for his help. When we finished decided to have some fun and take some rig shots of my tl-s. Check out Derek Wheeler Photography.

That looks great! Good colour match.

Need to get my wheels done soon.

the color looks great! Did you strip the wheels first or just paint over the black. What prep did you do? Any more photos?

Scuffed them with scotch pad, deflated and pressed sides to insert index cards between rim and tire. Sorry no other pics. Derek asked me mid paint if I took any and i was like like oh shit i forgot. lol

Yeah he is amazing. i have know derek for about 8 years or so and it has been amazing to watch his work change to what it is today. I would not ask anyone else to shoot any of my vehicles.

Ive never been a fan of rattle canning wheels.
Car wheels or bike wheels. always seemed ghetto to me.
Something the ricer kids would do in highschool. But this actually turned out good!
hopefully it holds up well for you. A+ on taking a chance!

Thanks, I usually wouldn't do it either. Just wanted to make sure gold was the color i wanted. Also wanted it to look better hence the best wheel spray paint you can get. Alot of people use this paint to touch up bbs, hurst olds, and other old school jdm gold wheels. I will eventually powdercoat them.

With decent prep like you said, I've had no problems with rattle can finishes on bike wheels. I sprayed the wheels on my Z like 10k miles ago and there's no chips or anything. I used VHT wheel coating and VHT wheel clear.

To really go the extra mile for durability, coat them with a hardened 2 part clear, like Spraymax 2k.

I'm not a fan of the gold forks Honda put on these, but the gold wheels pull it all together. Nice looking!

Looks epic. Great job. Inspires me to do great things with my wheels. Just noticed for the first time today that these little bikes come standard with Enkei wheels! I feel like I did an upgrade on Forza or Gran Turismo. Wow. Name brand wheels!
