My new custom satin iBlue/gloss Crystal white hexagon/gloss black turbines.

Stock turbines refinished with paint and diamond cut.

This has been a project of mine for a while.

keeping the stock look and taking to 11!!!

I'm thinking of doing W turbines next (in any colour) so if anybody is interested to buy please PM me.

Those wheels are very cool. Very complementary to the car. Nicely done!

Nice

HI All,

Im am offering this set of rims for sale.

Please PM if interested.

To sum up. They are OEM turbine wheels but effectively have had the front face painted and sealed in satin iBlue and then diamond cut.

They really set-off the look of blue accents.

Selling as my lease is coming to an end soon.

Looks great! I dig the color.

eliucp · 10-03-2017, 09:51 PM

did you power coat it? if so, does power coating damage the structure of the rims?

oem diamond cut wheels are powder coated. so they acid strip the rim powdercoat it black and then diamond cut the front face. This is what gives you the sharp edge.

That's interesting. Mine were neither powder coated, nor diamond cut.

They were simply painted black, then masked off and the blue painted on.

It's a shame they won't suit a red car without returning to standard as I'm looking for a set for winter tyres.

Hi , How difficult would it be to change the centre white section from white to Black? Thx.
