  • Finally got a chance to try out my new toy!

    I bought an old oven from Craigslist, a powder coating machine, used a friends sand blaster, and 4 hours later I'm ready for new summer tires again!

          Me too. I got these wheels 2 years ago at work (Toyota dealership) taken off a new Yaris getting alloys, the Toyota steelies are not painted, just an E-coat. After 2 years the E-coat has faded and started to get surface rust. It was way over due.
