This is great. I've been thinking of doing the same n I looked for a place for someone to do the same with the rims I want but its been hard to find someone in the l.a. Or oc area that is willing to help with the process. I'm so glad u were able to find someone. Congrats.

Sorry everyone. I know I am behind in getting the finished photos up. They are done but I have been super busy at work and such that time is a commodity that I had little to spare. Will work on this tonight and get them up. Would do it now but iPad does not make it easy.

Ok, here are some shots of the wheels being put together. There is something unique about these wheels and see if you can guess what it is. I don't have any good shots with them on the car yet but I am entering into a car show tomorrow and hope to get some then.

First shot is of the wheels center. I had them highly polished with a ceramic clear coat. Pic does not do it justice.

Next is of the outer hoop and center fitting together. (can you tell yet?)

Here is all three pieces fitted together. They matched up perfect.

Here are pics of the rear and front wheels assembled. Did you guess?

Here is a shot of the center cap. Also highly polished and clear ceramic finish.

If you didn't guess what it is then stay tuned till next time and I will reveal it with shots of the side profile of the car as well as shots from the rear and front. We'll see if you can guess then.... Also I hope to have the videos of the wheel spining for balance and true alignment with tolerances.

Is it the rear is a stepped lipped, so you wont get the ponding of water like a traditional 3 piece wheel???
