I am thinking of taking my stock 13's Getting them sandblasted, sanded down, Then taping the lip off, Spraying the rim with primer, then gloss black, then a couple coats of clear, then polishing the lip. and clear coating it, to give it a shiny metallic look. what do you guys think of that? Does anybody have pictures of it done possibly?
Im just really bored and its supposed to be nice tomorrow, and If I have enough time left from doing body work I might try this?

What do you guys think :?

Well, actually one of my good friends father has an idustrial sandblaster :P
so thats how I would get it sandblasted, but I dont know if its worth the time because I think they would look way to small, but who knows, The car is soon going to be lowered 3-4 inches anyways, so I think it would look half decent for now, until I get rims
