epic

[BADwayz]

I think a Care Bear was murdered on or by your wheel.

[SeanDub]

With holding comments until they are mounted

[southpaw]

I rike.

[devonjordan]

I think a Care Bear was murdered on or by your wheel.

On, in, and around. But I actually killed 2 Care Bears.

This one was killed just before the pics were taken, and it was a mess.

Just after I took the pics, this one show'd up, I had to take him out as well.

The blood is still drying, and there is quite a mess to clean up. I'll post pics when I can.

Can't wait.

Although, combined with the rust, it may clash some. But I love the idea for the wheels.

[devonjordan]

These aren't swinfords, they are mine.... No rust on my car.

[WhiteStripes]

Lulz, I somehow missed that. Well then I can't wait to see them mounted haha.

[devonjordan]

Complete...

For those who don't know me as a person, black/limegreen/hotpink are my favorite colors, and are thus the inspiration for the wheels... More when they are mounted.

[frink84]

i like it, shelbs says its kinda fruity

[devonjordan]

Yeah, it tastes like watermelon and green apple, so I can see where she is coming from.

[JSanders]

I dont know.... Mount 'em!

[SeanDub]

Personally I think the wheels are much to narrow to pull off such a look

[schroedin]

I lub them haha

[87e30]

Want to see on car. This idea has crossed my mind before.

[simsima325]

DSWins! Nice work, cannot wait to see these on the car :)

Maybe I will blood red speckle mine.

[Logan]

I wanna know what the tire guy says when he mounts tires on them!

[BADwayz]

did u clear coat over everything?

[devonjordan]

did u clear coat over everything?

Yeah. But the base is powder coat, so if I **** it after its on the car, a little acetone and I'm back to white wheels.

[frink84]

disregard moving, continue stancing

[M.Burroughs]

Maybe Swinford inspired is a fair statement, but credit should go to the guy who came up with it. ;)

I think he's on the boards.

[Dr.AK]

Looks pretty cool! Would have liked more dark spots though to add more contrast.

[SWINFORD]

The VW guy wasnt the first. This got done back in the 80's as well :)

[SWINFORD]

BTW looks dope can't wait to see them mounted :)

[Paul]

+1

[RS_Sex]

i need pics they look dope

[WhiteStripes]

Ooooh, mount those puppies. I wanna see.

[southpaw]

I wantz moar piktars.

[schroedin]

Ohmetoooooo

[devonjordan]

Maybe Swinford inspired is a fair statement, but credit should go to the guy who came up with it. ;)

I think he's on the boards.

Credit goes to the first guy who ever did it, in the 80's 70's or whenever. Swinford was just the first guy that I saw with them on a bimmer.

BTW looks dope can't wait to see them mounted :)

Thank you sir, and thanks again for your help.

Everyone else who is wanting more pics, tomorrow you will see tires, and they will not have any stretch.... Then mounted pics sometime this weekend. I'm in the process of moving, and don't have any time before then.

Thanks for all the kind words,
Devon

[psiglx]

i really need to see them mounted. i know there was a mk3 golf with this done on rs's but that had polished lips, not painted

[Digitalwave]

I always thought Swinford's wheels were cool but honestly looked crappy on the car. Although I like the finish I just don't like how they look the the car.

Why did you bother painting the barrels of the wheels?

[frink84]

Why did you bother painting the barrels of the wheels?

he got em powdercoated.

[Gottalovethexi]

im not feeling the coverage of blots you got on the wheels...

...would look much nicer if it was evenly splattered instead of being able to see the path of which you used whatever to drip the paint on with.

but +1 on seeing them mounted

[devonjordan]

Why did you bother painting the barrels of the wheels?

I had them powder coated, so if I **** it on the wheels, I just take the paint off... and still have a nice finish.

[Chris@MemoryFab]

i agree with sean on the widness of the wheels

this would look sick on a wide multipiece wheel just on the face tho and polish the lip;)

[e36cruiser]

I like it, i think i would have left out the green. thinking about painting my e46 m3 wheels white and painting my calipers pink.

[frink84]

omg they are being installed as i speak!

[Niterider03]

I can't wait to see pics of this!

[B Rod]

Hurry!

[devonjordan]

[frink84]

w00t. i <3 my shot

[schroedin]

Hmm. Would look better with black moldings IMO, looks pretty good though.

[87e30]

This... I like the wheels. I'm just not sure if I like the wheels on that car. :confused

[WhiteStripes]

I'm kinda liking the idea from BF.C to Mild Sauce the moldings...

Wheels look good though.

[devonjordan]

Suggested by frink as well... I think i know of a spare set of moldings i can do this to.

Thanks for the love guys.

[BADwayz]

Paint or vinyl the roof hot pink, and THEN I'd be sold.

[Gottalovethexi]

splatter the moldings :eyebrows

as of now tho, im not a fan

don't tempt me...

[SWINFORD]

I like it :)

[BADwayz]

don't tempt me...

Do it! Then I would be your biggest fan. Seriously.

[Thatguy_JZ]

You could do that m flag on the hood shit alot of people do except make it splattered paint like your rims. The car could use something else to offset the wheels, but they look sick, cool idea

[frink84]

if devon had a spare hood, we would have done this by now.

[SeanDub]

The flag is a sticker...

[SWINFORD]

The flag is a sticker...

You could paint it on ;)

[Dr.AK]

The flag is a sticker...

The idea is not to run the flag, but to imitate the flag using paint splotches, Sean.


That looks pretty sick, I say do the mouldings too, that'd be awesome!

While you're at it, maybe do the bars of the kidneys too? And maybe the rear hatch moulding also.

[SeanDub]

Alright, I stand corrected, and thats a stupid idea.

[SWINFORD]

Alright, I stand corrected, and thats a stupid idea.

BTW where did the 5's go?

[SeanDub]

To a guy who should be joining soon
