Custom painted volk wheels **Pics inside**

Check it out guys. I just finished painting and installing the volk wheels. It was alot of work, more than what I expected but the outcome came out flawless.

Wheels are multi-piece wheels custom colored match to the alpine white on the S2000. Let me know what you guys think.

Nice! Are there any pros and cons to getting your wheels either powder coated or painted. I know you can color-match if you were to use paint while powder coating you just have to find the most accurate match.

Bippu,

Yeah I wanted to go with a gold or bronze but the owner says he doesn't want to much attention.

Nothing broke as far as disassembling the wheels.

Were the bolts seized? I know when I disassembled my 57F-Pro, they had lock-tite on them. But luckily none of my bolts broke.
