Bought these 250$ 17x7 +45 BBS RK's for the EP3, 1 wheels was mint, 1 had a massive crack and bend in it, and two of them had a bunch of spoke cracks.
Had the wheel straightened, welded up all the cracks and rash, sandblasted them, sanded and filled, and finally painted them in the garage today. Probably 20+ hours of labor in these stupid wheels... but... now at this point it doesn't seem so bad.
I've painted entire vehicles before, my overall impression of using duplicolor wheel paint is that you can get very good results, but the cans tend to create a lot of dry spray. If I painted the wheels in a less dusty area they would have turned out a little better.
Having said all that...
