Well I woke up this morning and....

[TheDuke]

Finally decided to paint the wheels. You should see my neighbors reaction when he saw the car...lol I took them off at 6 AM. No one even noticed me doing it, and it supposed to be a safe neighborhood monitored by Security company…. BTW for anyone who wants to strip the wheels, save yourself time and have them stripped by a plating company or rim painting place. Otherwise be prepared to grind, grind and grind, BMW primer is a bitch… Had to use still wool on a air grinder. Lucky for my old boss allowed me to use his metal shop to do it so I got all the tools.

Well done, the way you placed the picture under the title and the explanation under the picture. I thought someone stole your tires and rims!

well, i was going to comment on how nice it was they used jackstands instead of cinder blocks...but you had better keep an eye on it, someone might be looking for a rotor to pawn off.

DTM Front lip. You can get it at Bavarian Autosport www.BavAuto.com. I don't know the price right now but they go around $120. Still have to paint it, it's my next project...

I freaked too when I saw that picture! Are you taking pictures as you are going through the process of painting them?

Excellent work. Had me going there a minute, until i saw the jack stand under the car. Real thieves only use cinder blocks (or nothing at all)
