This is a picture from another board of them sanded. This is actually the look I like, chrome lip with brushed centers. Anyone know if the centers are sanded, and then cleared, if they will keep the same look and hold up?

They came out really nice, but I don't think this is a DYI type of mod. Well the taping and sanding can certainly be done at home, but to have any chance of the paint sticking to a chromed wheels they really need to be epoxy primered. With professional grade epoxy primer, shot and baked in a spraybooth. If you try to use the rattle can primer your looking for trouble. Remember once you sand your chrome wheels there is no going back.

Nice job.

They look frikin sweet. I would like to see the center chrome and the lip black.

There is no way I could do that to my wheels, I would probably throw up after sanding down my Foose. Man you have a set of brass ones.
