The colors is a 3 stage color the base is Jet Black the top coat is Rocket Blast Blue (clear w/blue flakes) then the final coat of clear on top. Its for a White STI the owner wanted a wheeel that looked black but when the light hit it was blue so thats what I did for him the pics dont do them any justice they look way better in person.

My wheels are Rota Grids and are gonna be done in white. Im actually gonna start on my rims today im tired of them sitting in boxes they need to be mounted already.

Wheels look pretty good! Heck of a job. For the record I need a list of parts you buy for your car. lol due to I will be slowly buying the same parts. The pulleys and gears look pretty sweet.
