Re: [emrat:11033] Re: Bonnie cast wheel project: DONE!

Haven't decided yet whether I'm going to paint them.  I'm going to see how I like the look with them in the current state.  They do look a little bit mismatched with the front wheel being all satin and the rear having black paint on the inner rim and inside of the spokes, but I think it looks OK now.  If I do paint them I'd probably go with gloss black.

Nice job.  Are you going to paint the rims?

For those who are interested, the total cost was under $400 not counting the tires (which I needed anyway.)  Both wheels were found on EBay and the only other thing I had to buy was a set of 4 low profile panhead bolts to replace the big hex bolts that hold the fender in.  I did that because I was putting a 10mm wider tire on the 18" wheel (a 110/90/18 in place of the stock 100/90/19) and I wasn't sure if the tire would clear the bolt heads.  As it turns out, I think they would have  cleared but I like the lower profile bolts anyway and I think my cost for them was about $4.00 at Ace Hardware.

For those not on Facebook, the alloy wheels are on and they work great:
