Here's a pic after beadblasting and painting the wheels and dumping some dough into some nice tires. Now I just need about 8 free hours to do the beauty rings :D .

She's a little sweetheart. Love the look of concentration.

I hope she was properly compensated.

Wish I could get the local garage mechanic to work for

jelly beans and ice cream.

And, pray tell, what were YOU doing, when she was

doing such a geat job on your wheels?

A hammock comes to mind.

Jeepers... I've been avoiding this thread because I thought it was the usual naughty spam... nice work on the tires. Care to hire your helper out ?? Between my two Jettas with summers and winters I've got 16 rims.
