WOW!!! It's like there's really masking tape around the hub section & rotor, lol.

j/k looks cool...Are you trying to reverse the look of the raw aluminum?

Love the inner part, but don't really like the way the outer rim lip isn't one continuous color.

Keep it up

I dig the center rib, looks almost like it has rivets in it.

Yeah- in my mind it ruins the illusion. You think you see something, it's all flowing, then you realize it's just a paint job. Capish?

Good work though Gary. I REALLY wish you lived closer. We'd be collaborating...
