Just picked up a set of stock 18's from Craigslist with tires for cheap. 2 of the tires are starting to dry rot from sitting so they'll be used for a smoke show before being replaced with nittos lol. They were chrome and pitting, mostly in the barrel. Just dropped them off at 904powderworx this morning to get some Cadillac Gray applied.
I never found a primer powder that I liked. And even when chrome is pitting, it takes more than just your casual blasting to get them clean. But nice find, good luck with them! In for results.
Picked them up today. Came out damn good for as pitted as they were. He was able to feather out everything on the face of the wheel. The worst of it was in the barrel and those still have some marks from the pitting but overall they look great. I'm ceramic coating on Friday and then mounting them up later this weekend. I'll post more pics once they're on.
Finally mounted them up today. I think it looks great. Color is hard to capture in a pic. It changes from grey to black depending on the angle. Very satisfied with the outcome.
