We've had a few customer lately ask us to do some custom finishes on their Vintage Wheel Works wheels. I thought you guys would like to see some photos.

The first is a V45 set of 17s, that are 17x8s and 17x9.5s with a 255/50/17 front tire and a 275/50/17 rear tire on a 67 ElCamino. We spec'd the wheels and had VWW build them in their standard finish.

After receiving the wheels (in a very short build time, thank you Eli), we powder coated the centers Gun Metal Grey. We left the wheel lip polished.

Check them out!

The second wheel set is a set of 17" V40s that we did for a Pro-T member awhile ago. He called us only a few weeks ago and asked if he could have us brush the lips, and his own custom caps he had machined, and clear powder coat the whole wheel. Sure can!
I personally brushed all four wheels and caps, and then powder coated them clear from front to back. Here are some photos of how they turned out:

If anyone wants us to do this work for them, we charge $50ea wheel to brush front and rear lips, and $75.00ea wheel to powder coat the entire wheel clear. If you order the wheels from us, and we can do it at the time of ship, we will take 10 dollars off each wheel for brush, and 10 dollars off each for powder coat as well. That's a savings of 80 bucks!

Looks like they turned out great Jon, Thanks Again! :cheers: Really looking forward to getting the car back together and on the road w/ the new rim/tire setup. I think the brushed look adds alot to the old-school understated look I was going for, not to mention no more polishing!

My pleasure Jess. They are being mounted up right now with the Nitto tires, and will be out of here first thing monday. No more polishing, and nothing is going to muddy up that raw bead blasted center through that clear! :thumbsup:
