. No BS yawl if you like the wheels they are so easy to do and cost about $14.00 in stuff, any color you can think of. 1 can of dupli-color, 1 can of Kleen strip, 1 can mineral spirits, a roll of painters blue tape, and a cheese wedge to scrape with and as long as you can get the tire off the floor you don't even need to take the wheels off! I did both in about 4 hrs. Tape the rough edge of the wheel, spread the strip on about 8" of the black paint at a time until all paint and primer is off the wheel. I mean all cause the new paint won't stick right to the primer they use. After you have em stripped wipe clean with mineral spirits and tape the tire edge (little strips of tape at a time works the best) Then back the wife's Murano out so as not to over spray it!
and paint the aluminum. Don't worry about taping the black center of wheel cause this paint is like translucent and won't show on black anyway. About three spins of the wheel is thick enough on each side. I was going to just do the edge with the strip to polished aluminum but saw so many bikes with this it just wasn't for me, like the chrome i had. So went looking in wally world again and found this paint which matched my cheezy ART cans! (cheezy i like em better than my yoshi's) Also when i got the paint off and started to polish the aluminum all it did was turn black and tarnished looking. A kid i spoke with at the local hang out said his needed polished every week and i ain't doin that
This paint is very durable too. Even chain lube and cleaning with WD40 hasn't done a thing to it. I thought zuki used powder coat on the wheels until i installed the rear shinko and found out otherwiz.
