Wheels Installed Close-up

I haven't finished the wheel covers at this point, but the wheels looked great after sandblasting and painting the centers. The outside lip is sanded and polished so it has a brushed metal appearance. I put a tough urethane clear coat over the whole wheel to keep it protected.
