4.8isX5 is on a distinguished road
Arrow New look and spray painted 168s

Backstory-

Ive had my wheels plastidipped and glossified for the longest time now. PO neglected oem finish and clear was gone in spots, other places paint flaking off or just really worn.

I knew that with my spacers and drop silver wheels would look really good with the car again, was planning on getting them powdercoated but decided to first try rattle canning them.


End result: Im surprised how well they came out and i really rushed through it as well. $25-30 worth of product and start to finish like 3 hours.

Before:



After:











The one joint picture shows oem finish vs mine, top is a day after i got it,, you cant see it well in that pic but they were messed up and kept getting worse after each wash.


Enjoy.
