Painted the spokes on the Si's I polished. Only thing left is to remount the rubber and throw them on. Figured I'd share.

i like the painted spokes.

a lot of people say it just makes them look like they have permanent brake dust. but i like it.

Yea, I wanted to do something a little different with them. I was unsure at first but I think I like them.

what kind of paint did you do and what prep work did you do? they look sick
The spokes were already prepped b/c I had polished the faces but it pretty much is just a good cleaning with aircraft stripper and I used a filler primer then a couple of finish coats of sprayable wheel paint and then a coat of wheel paint clear.

Mmm...I'm planning on doing the same thing with the HX's. But maybe with a really dark CGP...
I wish it wasn't so hard to wetsand in the cold...Or do you do it inside? HOW?!

they look real good man. i was thinking about polishing mine, but without the black. i actually want them full chrome polish. yours look good, and i can tell the center cap has been modded too.

can't wait to see them with rubber and on the car.
