DIY: How to make JDM look from a germany wheel :)

Hi All of you!

First I'd like to appolgize for my bad english....I've decided to go JDM look my xB.
But in our country (Hungary) it is not so easy to get JDM look wheels, like honda, old school toyota etc....But I've found a very cheap, strong and original German wheel ATS Cup. It is 15"x7" ET28. I'll show to you how I made an JDM wheel from it.

These are the tools for the mission. Scissors, paint spray, two type of dogtape (paper-based, nylon-based), ugly old towel, trash bags (a lot), some cherry vodka to get brave (actually NO) Important to cover the painting place, exept it is a garage. It is our living room

Re: How to make JDM look from a germany wheel :)

looks great, always wanted a set of those wheels.

its funny cause we can get "JDM" wheels kinda easy here, and soem people have a hard time getting the wheels that you call "cheap" and not that big of a deal, ha ha.

Will also be looking forward to seeing pics of them on.
