Powered coating hubs results
« on: April 17, 2011, 02:36:35 pm »
This is my first go at this and I'm happy with the results I haven't seen wheels like this. I ended up using old rims and sand blasting them and then getting them powered coated as I could not buy a new black rim under $450.00 in 40 spoke pattern and as they needed to match I could not see why buy a new front one as I had good fronts.
