Default re doing my wheels, again. and improving fitment

So i have been planning on re doing my wheels for awhile now and i have finally gotten the ball rolling. my wheels used to be painted white, they started to turn yellow, so jus_dubin and i polished them. i liked them at first but the wheels are just kind of rough overall and i want them white again (powdercoat this time).

Phase 1: curb rash repair
a couple of the wheels have had some curb rash on them for a long time and i figured if i was going to get them powder coated fresh, i should get them smoothed out.huge thanks to ben with quicksliver wheel repair (QuickSilverWR on here, hit him up if you need work done, he'll come to you)

the car


Pre Repair

Pass. rear:



Pass. front:



Driver front:



Driver rear:



Ben at work:




we had pics of after they were done but they came out shitty so i will get some more tomorrow


Aside from getting the wheels themselves done, i am going to space the wheels out a little.15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear.

these came in today so they should be going on next week when i get the rear spacers




Update tomorrow
