HI

Managed to get my hands on some very corroded but straight rx8 wheels locally.

Using :
1x putty primer/filler
2x grey primer
2x trade silver spray paint
2x Gloss lacquer
lots of 75mm DA sander pads (250 to get the corrosion off & 400 to get it smooth)
lots of wet & dry 1000grit
I did this:

Very happy with how they turned out. well worth the effort.
 
Great work man! :)
 
Nice work pal, my mate has a set on his 7th gen and they look ace. Get some honda centre caps :)
 
Looking smart B)

I've got a set on my tourer, they are the perfect wheel for the accord I reckon.



I'm still on the look out for some centre caps for mine, if you come across any let me know!
