They look fucking awesome man, but I'd go with chrome if it's an option. I bought raw polished wheels for my TA, had Bay Mechanical in VB powdercoat a "clear coat" on them and it completely ruined the wheels. They went from looking shiny to looking a dull gray. Worst idea ever, but then again they assured me they'd look exactly the same when they were done and at the time I didn't know any better.

 

for rotiform

Im very envious

 

I wouldent be to worried about the clear coat. Rotiform is a beast when it comes to finishing. Heres what polished/clear coat look like.

 

O M G

I can't wait <3

 

Are they putting the valve stem on the outer hoop or behind the wheel face on the inner hoop?

 

all of the SJC's ive seen so far have been on the outer. I dident even know that was an option.

 

IMO I would do the polished with clear coat if they can make it look like that picture. Or... do brushed centers with clear and a chrome lip. Or.... paint the centers silver to match your car wtih a polished/cleared lip.

Polishing wheels sucks massive donkey balls.... polished metal is only tolerable on a weekend show car and even then it sucks.

 

Do outer.... my buddy has some very nice HREs with the valve stem on the inside.... he can't get to it to check is air pressure. He takes the wheels off once a month to clean the barrels and check/fill the air.... it's uber-gay. It may work for a spoke wheel, but for a mesh wheel it's horrible.

 

omfg. yes yes yes.

 

Since when do you need a 10" wheel to run 245/35-19? You could have done a 9" or even an 8.5". It'd save weight and it would be the rim width the tire manufacturer intended.
