Bought a set of old 17" M-Contour replica that have seen better days.
So I stripped them for the old paint and refurbished them with some nice new color.
Do you think it would look good on my Coupe? The red is the same color as the Z4.
Remember that this is track only wheels. :D

Heres how they looked when I bough them:

And now they look like this. Only missing the clearcoat and centercaps.

Thanks guys! :thumbsup:
Not sure what tires Im going to put on. Maybe Im getting some used for this season. Spent alot of money on wheels and tires already so...
Pictures of the wheels on the car is coming when I put them on around April.
 
i really like those... even without the clear coat that looks professionally done!

Be interesting to see how they look on the car though...
 
DONE! 8) Now the hunt for tires are on...

Nice job! What kind of stripper did you use out of interest, hopefully not something with an unpronouncable name off a smorgasbord? LOL :driving:
 
Finally I got to test them on the car. Pretty satisfied with the look. Maybe the grey color could be a hint lighter.

Got the tires cheap. Used only a couple of days on the track.

That looks pretty cool! Wouldnt have them on a daily driver but for trackdays that's pretty nice! :thumbsup:
