They have itty bitty, teeny tiny wheels.

Here lies the BEFORE shots of the wheels. My 12" beauties. They're going to get blizzasted and painted on Monday. I'll have them back by Thursday. Picture #1 plus Picture #2 shall be a pretty good deal for the car. As soon as they come back, I'll throw up the AFTER pics.

Also, the postwoman brought my new Kick 'N Go stickers for the scooter when it comes out of paint.

Later, QD.

HOLY COW!!!

Lolol. This guy did an excellent job on these. They're completely smooth and, as you can see, he painted the entire damn rims. I honestly thought he was only painting the face of the wheels. But he did the whole deal. Beautiful, shiny and smooth as hail.

KUDOS to this GUY!!

Since the car is an hour away from me, I'll wait until the car is ready and them go back up there and put the wheels on it. My wife is going in the morning to have the tires put back on. The car is slated to be ready middle of next week. Later, QD.

I didn't think he'd paint the whole wheel either. But I'm glad. Makes it look like a whole new wheel, lolol.

Yes I have a daily set of chrome rings and a meet/show set. I wouldn't have painted the wheels black if I didn't have something to set them off with, lolol.
Is what polished? The rings are chrome if that's what you're asking. Later, QD.
