3M Carbon on Wheels...

[tntmstr]

I'm not going to start a new thread every time I coat something new I swear, but many people have asked about doing wheels. I did one of our display wheels today, and I think it turned out amazing!

30 minutes start to finish, so its getting quicker, which means cheaper for all of you to get stuff done!

I'm interested in how these will hold up to brake dust and gravel and such...

I think raw would be great for a more 'showy' car, get them cleared and expect the same wear as other wheels.

How much to do a set of 4?

This is strongly dependent on what wheel and where I will be wrapping (just lip, just spokes, lip and spokes), and the size of wheel.

There are other colors, but they do not have near as much 'real' look to them. I'll show you the stuff when you come down.

they look like this, and I would only want the centers done. I can remove the centers also for you. They are 17" wheels.

Once again I'm blown away by how good that stuff looks.

If you can remove the centers, that would help a lot with the 90 degree bend...I am not sure how a 90 degree bend on a 90 degree bend would work (in the upper edges. If I can get it we'd be looking about $50/wheel for those wheels.

Where the slit is in the spokes it isn't a straight 90* there it tapers down for the transition.

Once I get the car in the garage and up on jack stands I am thinking you will be getting some advan centers to cover. :icon_rr:

ok thanks man. i can't wait to see them.

actually i may have you play with my stock audi rims depending on the integrity of the wrap, do you know anything about how well it will hold up or would this primarily be a show item?

i realise you said expect normal wear once you clear em, but have you actually applied these to anything driving yet is really my question?

This stuff looks good. The Grand Forks store has some to look at as well, correct?

Correct, all locations have this instock.

I wouldn't be so worried about holding up to brake dust and grime and stuff as I would heat from the brakes. You have any idea how that would effect this stuff?
