Center caps are from suncoast. I think they do the wheels that way by painting them entirely in black first, then they CNC the face, and clear it.

I was going to ask you how they achieved that on a refinish. I suspected the answer was 'machine after painting everything' but was hoping for another answer. I imagine it was quite a bit more expensive than straight powdercoating.

Seems every car manufacturer has gone for this look now. Have seen it on loads of euro hatches, Korean SUVs, Japanese sedans.

Looks much better now. I have never been a fan of those wheels in general but these look good.

I prefer the stock OEM for my car, but 3 years later, I'm sure you're still loving what you did with these instead! Old thread...
