Stock rim Re & Re on 05 XKR
Just put my winter tires on my XKR. The stock rims had been curbed before I bought the car so I gave them a re & re. Being a 3 piece I dismantled them and gave the spokes to my buddy that refinished them with a flat black linear polyurethane paint and then a satin clear coat to give them depth. I cleaned the rims up and because the chrome rings were scraped from the curbing, I brushed the chrome until I had flattened the stock bright chrome finish to a satin chrome finish. I then re-assembled them and could not wait to get them on the cat. HERE THEY ARE...............
I also installed a Leaper on my grille and tucked the front licence plate below after a $109.00 ticket for no front plate. Got away with it for 6 months but was dinged the extra after a speeding ticket.
More pix at the link below including my summer tires on 20" TSW black Donnington rims with Hankook V24 Evo summer tires. For winter tires I run Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.

The wheels are 20" XO Tokyo wheels in a staggered setup (8.5" fronts, 10" rears). The tires are Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Positions, 255/35 fronts, 285/30 rears.
Definitely worth the time on the detailing. Too bad compressing the pics for uploading takes away some of the effect of the reflection off of the side of the car! Maybe I'll see if I can upload the full-res versions to Photobucket as a test.
