Those look great! Is that a Galaxy Gray? The silver goes with it nicely.

Rotr8 05-05-2009 11:24 AM

That is going to look HAWT!!! I thought of doing this before but do not have enough lip on my wheels to pull if off.

HaiDoGGRX-8 05-05-2009 06:17 PM

Very Nice Wheels

RA-Eight 05-05-2009 08:09 PM

Looking good Rotr8. If 70% matte is another way of saying 30% gloss, then my 25% gloss face will have a similar finish your barrel.

Are you gonna machine the lettering and details?

Rotr8 05-05-2009 09:47 PM

Yup... the painter is taking his time making sure the details are all polished out and then another coat of clear,,,,

He was an ole skool hott rodder, It took two visits and about 3 hours of discussion to convince him to go this direction, he wanted to polish and chrome the whole barrel.
When he sent me that last batch of pics, he was pleasantly suprised and said that they look a whole lot better in person,,,
They be ready Friday or Saturday....
I CANNOT wait to see them,,,

nice greg, the progress is looking great! glad you decided to do the 'phantom' style with the SF's. ONLY ONE IN THE COUNTRY...maybe even the world!?

Rotr8 05-06-2009 06:55 AM

thanks Dan, that would be sweet if they were,, I know no one in the country is doin this that would be sweet if they were the only in the world that are like it...

Bunique,,, looking good ,,, they dont happen to be goin on that badass S2K,,,,

Bunique 05-06-2009 08:56 AM

Nope, they are actually going on a bb rx8. My friend's first purchase for his car. I'll have more pics with wheels and tires on the car soon.

RA-Eight 05-06-2009 10:22 AM

I can't see! Stupid image filter @ work. What models are they?

Rotr8 05-06-2009 11:05 AM

GTS's smae as yours but with the Phantom treatment...

RA-Eight 05-06-2009 11:50 AM

Very nice! I have a feeling this phantom trend is going to catch on like a plague. And you know when it's hott, you'll have poser wheel companies copping.

pdxhak 05-06-2009 11:56 AM

Sorry but what is phantom? Black barrel/lip and gunmetal face? Or is the sides of the face are darker?

Im_DANomite 05-06-2009 01:23 PM

google Volk Racing and Phantom edition. it's flat black lip with a gunmetal gray center with a time attack pin stripe...but most opt out of the pin stripe
