Turning a $100 set of wheels into a $1000 set of wheels

[@Mad4Motors_]

I've just done a new challenge for you guys Turning a $50 set into a $500 set of wheels. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXW7aY2mnbVobK8

[@Danster547]

I’m freaking blown away. Edit: no idea why people aren’t being positive in the comments. This was amazing. Night and day difference and you had a fun project to do yourself! Really nice.

[@RockKevin28]

Yeah. These wheels rocked. I was almost expecting you to drop some tire shine to complement the wheels.

[@Spiritcr1jsher]

Probably because of the title. They are just spray painting nice . Rims are more than just how they look . If they are cast , flow formed ( different casting technique) , forged , lightweight make the price vary .

[@PPekka]

Because of title, no way those turned into 1000$ wheels. Ok paintjob, but you could maybe get 50-100$ more for those wheels. He did not even take out the tires first and paint the whole wheels.

[@PontiacsGarage]

Those wheels look really good when u got done with them. They completely changed the whole look of the car. Great job man.

[@ballygarran]

It’s funny how the wheels actually look bigger on the car after the transformation.

[@flyingsquirrel9996]

Nice work! They’re definitely a big improvement over the aging factory finish. Maybe going over the insides of the rims with the metallic black or the silver in the future would look nice. You seemed to do a good job of mitigating overspray on that area in the video though and that location receives a lot of abuse from wheel weight changes and road gunk.

[@theflashoflife8088]

I was just about to say. U should of probably painted the center caps black and left the rings. With a chrome Silver type

[@alfonsomontes8829]

You could have touched the center caps but you made those wheels 100% better thank you for the tip.

[@JJ-fd2ob]

Wow that actually looked way better than I expected. Solid job!

[@carolyndee4565]

For those who posted negative comments, l love to see you do a better job. If you can't say anything nice, say nothing at all. Everyone is an expert. This guy does a wonderful job.

[@jravila4609]

I would have painted within the silver circle black so that way the Audi sign is silver on top of a black background, but real good job bro, steady at your craft !

[@HomeBuilt]

We just done a set very similar to this, we sanded down to bare alloy to get the look on ours. Its amazing what you can do to a set of wheels and it really transforms the car.

[@ConceptXX]

Any tips for alloy wheels with badly damaged clear? Only ever sprayed steel which are pretty forgiving

[@HomeBuilt]

@@ConceptXX make sure all the oxidisation is comoletely removed and keep everything as clean as possible.

[@ConceptXX]

@@HomeBuilt I’m most spooked by the sanding lol. Simply because if I burn through then it ain’t steel under there and I got no idea what products and methods work. There’s minor curb rash that I was going to leave alone but I’d prefer to tackle it. What’s the lowest grit you recommend? And would 400 knock down the clear!

[@HomeBuilt]

@ConceptXX I would say all depending on how bad the curb damage is, if it's not too bad 400 would do the trick! 👍

[@SNEAKVS]

Thank you Connor Mc.Gregor never knew you were talented in other areas!

[@skodakatie7341]

Wow, night and day difference, the wheels look amazing after the transformation, I like what you did with the centre caps too, just goes to show million dollar improvements don’t need to cost a million dollars lol 😂.

[@novembermiss]

You are the perfectionist's perfectionist. Amazing job, especially your customization of the emblem (yes, those protruding tabs were hideous--great idea to saw them off).

[@johndoe65551]

$100 to $1000 is over exaggerated but lots of props for this man. Great job!

[@ReinventingTheSteve]

You did very well! Only thing I can really suggest is using a wax and grease remover/ cleaner before painting to limit contaminants

[@RRED2]

Superb! Nothing more to be said 👌. Just one thing Yes Black Caps.

[@bellyisis]

Tuck index cards under the lip of the rim, overlap them a bit then a little tape to keep them in place :) much easier, cause as you mentioned I love my tires shining & even after washing them the tape refused to stick.

[@richscatenclosures7535]

An old deck of cards works pretty good for masking the tire. I’m sure there is a video of someone doing that trick

[@hkk3656]

That's a great before and after. In the AFTER pic just doing the wheels now makes the whole car shine.

[@RED09G8GT]

I liked the silver center caps. I would have tried painting the Audi emblem and the ring black as well.

[@3lostblonds]

Looks great! What a great idea for recycling too. TY, your making a positive move for the planet.

Guys should I of painted the center caps black?? Please comment below

[@tonyv1505]

dam and i thought all you can do with your factory wheels were just a fresh coat of paint thanks for sharing i'm definitely customizing mines too

[@jmoto1983]

Not sure if you did it or not, but I found removing the wheel weights and painting the inside of the rim will give a really nice complete look and hide brake dust in between car details. Looks like the tire bead needs to be reset anyways and getting them rebalanced at that point would be a good idea anyways. Nice video.

[@AstroRush]

This is the only video I can find that is like this, looks amazing

[@mikeferrara7865]

Great job for so little effort. Looks 100% better than originally.

[@samlunan1553]

Great job. Think the centre caps would look better in black though.

[@erreidwas]

Amazing! It looks infinitely better then before! And yes! Paint the center caps black, but KEEP THE CHROME EMBLEM AND CHROME RING. Those $100 wheels look like their worth $150.00 EACH! OR $600 for the set.

[@codegiver60]

The comment section on this video is like a airport planes flying over people's heads all day.. He meant 1000 dollar wheels as in if you went somewhere like a retail tire store rims that look like this would cost about a grand which is accurate I work at a place called Rhyme Time and we sell custom wheels which are just basically what this video shows. So your getting ripped hard buying these from stores when you could just do what this dude did. I will say tho a bit more steps are put into the wheels lasting longer. I'm curious to know how long these lasted before the paint started chipping if at all.

[@coolbreezelb5023]

But it doesnt matter. The wheel weights behind the spokes get replaced with new tires and wont ruin the look of the face. If the wheel weights were on the face like they used to do, then I could see your point. They are just inner wheel weights, they come in silver or black when you take to a tire shop.
