Picked up a set of wheels that originally were on my car when i bought it.
BBS RXii in 16" they wear 205/55/16s (i got a fresh set stacked in the corner for them)

But they are a 2-piece design so that makes it very convenient

removed the faces
sandblasted them off
sanded wtih 150 and 400 grit
primer white
metallic silver paint

this is the progress so far (I'm painting front and back sides of the faces)






I still have left to:
finish sanding the 4th/primer/paint
paint the 3rd wheel

for all: wet sand, more paint, wet sand, clear, wet sand, clear

Good job Dan. Just make sure you don't have any curious cats shedding all around your wheels. He he he.
