Got my wheels sandblasted and repainted

My wheels were all worn and showed signs of surface oxidation here and there.

So I got them redone. For only $30/wheel this is amazing quality. What do you think Colour is half shiny metallic colour which I hope will look great on black car.

I know huh, amazing price and even full varnish was included in the price. My wheels were also powdercoated. I asked other place and they said that they wont do anything under 350 euros.
Place named Rondel OY did it for me

Those look amazing... the powdercoat makes them so easy to clean (and they look great).

I did that to my turbocasts wheels...

I don't know the exact color, sorry. Some kind of dark chrome with varnish on top of it reducing the peak shinyness making it look like in the picture. That is pertty much everything I know of the colour.
