well sense theres no way i can afford fsvt rims i would like to repaint my E1's.
there is some yellowing and the paint peeled on one where i had a leaky brake bleeder screw and it ate the paint off. also i pulled one weight off and omg its horrible. now i have polished them the best they can get. lots and lots of yellow came out. and this is the best they will get. now I'm thinking of painting them myself. sand blasting is not going to happen so ill have to sand by hand. i want to stick with the factory color. what is the factory color? SF? i don't think dupli-color wheel paint is for me. i want to do this right. primmer, color and clear. i will need to demount my bald tires. and i don't want to pay for that lol. I'm thinking of just cutting them off. the bead seal will be hard to brake. i am certified to use a Snap-on or Hunter tire machines, but can get to one. can you guys help me out with pointers and such please? thanks

here are some pics of the worst wheel:

Duplicolor wheel paint is a little bt darker and less metallic. I didnt like it, so i got them powder coated, didnt ike that so I bought FSVT Euro's.

hhaha well the euros would be ideal for me. but ya know. i think the SF looks close. and if i take my time (sometimes my A.D.D. kicks in hardcore) i think i can make them look wonderful.
 
Yeah I have ADD when it come to certain stuff and then I fudge things up it hard some times because you want to see the final out come.

Ive seen SF wheels on a SF SVT, there nice and bright, search through SVTPerformance, i think i saw them on there. they may have been FSVT's
 
ok i found this on a focus site.
i really want to find the right color.
