Default Rims done in Rustoleum Graphite peel coat.

Was torn on wheel color. So I did the peel coat to see if I like graphite prior to powdercoating. I LOVE IT!!

Look great, and I especially like the creative cover of the tire for the spray job.
Up to which rim size can you get on one skat deck ?

Only in Jersey ... Why am I reminded of when as a kid we took cards and used clothes pins to attach them to our bikes so that the spokes would make cool sounds?

If you're going to get them refinished with real paint PM me so that I can disabuse you of using one of the popular wheel re-finishers in New Jersey. I know of no good ones. Neither does my tire shop.

That came out very nice. Did you have any pre-existing curb rash to deal with?

Yes, former owner had bumped a few but rims we're 90% perfect. When I get the powdercoat done Ill sand them and get them perfect.

Thank you, I do everything myself and I have a powdercoat Guy right down the street from me.

The problem is when they need actual repair not just slight curb rash. I hit an enormous pot hole filled with rain late at night and it blew out two tires and bent both rims.
