I don't like the look of the sawblade wheels, so I put some C6 wheels I got on Craigslist on over the weekend, painted them first. I think they turned out very nice thank you very much. Clean, sand, prime, paint, paint. All for less than $500, except now I need some spacers for the rear.

500 for C6 wheels is a pretty good price. They look good.

 

thanks man. Wow those pics on photobucket are tiny. Any way to make them bigger?

 

Those look great. Nice job. The pix showed up pretty good size for me. Are you just looking at the thumbnails?

 

I am just clicking my links and that is what shows up. The pic of the vette in my garage is not even 2.5 inches wide on my laptop screen. I double click on it and nothing. Is it different for you?

 

Well, oddly enough, the first time I checked out the pix, they were nice and big. Now, I click on them and just see little thumbnail sized images. I don't use Photobucket or any other image hosting service. I host on my own server space. So, I'm not sure how to view the larger pix again on Photobucket. Sorry....

 

big improvement

 

looks really, really good; how is the paint holding up; and

what type of primer / paint did you use, please be specific

thanks

 

Nice job on the wheels. Yamaha Vmax my Favorite bike of all time. Have had 3 of them.

 

Paint seems to be holding up fine. Wheels don't take direct hits like your hood does, they just get spray, so the paint doesn't have to be powdercoat strong.
Not joking about the Rust-Oleum, its just some gloss black in the 25% More bonus can, I can take a pic of the can. I think the primer was Rustoleum also, black, from Home Depot. I can take a group pic.

 

I had a Vmax for 8 years, sold it in 2010, missed it so I got that '06- cuz the wheels were already black, that's army green camo paint.

 

here are the cans
