You may have seen my other thred after putting my winter wheels on http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c18/danbmx_69/2011-12-17141528.jpg
they are verry tired and are in need of sorting out as the wheels are about 7 years old so i thort i would give them a lick of paint but not just any normal.colour


Here they are after being rubed down and primerd

And here they are after the first coat of ERM :-P

the plan is if you look at the top pic to do the blue center nut black and the studs that go around the wheels also black
Up date here they are with the studs painted black and the TSW logo both the studs and logo have been painted by hand with a tiny brush took me agis

Might do this to the alpines i have in the garage!!

Although i did have them powder coated and have only done 500 miles on them, would seem like a waste of money

I would considerit if it were a true BRM but its not its a 200vi and if the wheels were staying on the car but they are just for the winter
