Untitled Long on time and short on funds means instead of Excel rims, I'm powder coating the stockers gloss black. I also powder coated the spokes and nipples red. If ordering from prismatic, Davis Red was a perfect match to the Terra but was discontinued two days before I ordered. This is astatic red and and it's damn close. I'm bringing them up to tension and truing them right now. I have some TKC80s waiting here too. I'll post some shots when it all comes back together.
Love 'em! Well Done. Someday I would love to do something like this or get excel, but before I do I need to get batter at tire changes. I am pretty ham-fisted and usually scratch the hell out of my rims
Im thinkin black rim...redspoke nipple..black spoke...red hub. Dubya has a rim builder tool that you can play with and see how differ combos look.
About $30 in powdercoat and a lot of my time. Some other wheels I've worked on we just did the nipples in a color and did the rims and spokes black. IMO the nipples get lost in the mix and don't stand out enough considering all the extra work that's why I did my spokes too.
