So I finally have my wheels painted and tires mounted. They look sweet but what a masking nightmare. I soda blasted, sanded and polished the spokes. Then had to clean out the open parts with a scuff pad so the paint wouldn't fish eye. Then masking the spokes was the killer part. 3 days later and 25 x-acto blades later it was done, Shot the paint this morning and mounted the tires tonight. I'll get them balanced tomorrow, mount them up and get pictures. It would have been cheaper/faster just to buy new wheels but WTF they are one of a kind. Oh yeah I still have to do the final polish job after the paint cures in a few days.
