Doc1647545523 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 My stock wheels, which I didn't photograph but which looked about like this: http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/2006_bentley_continental-flying-spur_whl_ft_1_717.jpg had some curb damage and were pretty lackluster. I went to Wheel Medic and talked with Bryce, and he suggested changing the look of the wheels with some powdercoating, machining some highlights, and then clearcoating. I had trouble visualizing what they would look like, but I trusted Bryce's judgement. Once again, the wheels exceeded every expectation. They draw compliments from everyone. And the price was ridiculously low. http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/afterwheel.jpg Thanks again, Wheel Medic. It's great having a CR sponsor who can offer sound advice, consistently deliver top notch service, and who can keep the price under budget. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Those look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Thanks. I realize that the photo doesn't do it justice. Making most of the wheel black really makes the chrome center ring stand out. I've only driven the car three times since I picked it up from Wheel Medic, but everytime I've parked it, people took cell phone photos of the wheels, even when it was parked at MAG. http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/enlargecentercap.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
