Painting wheels + turbo fit wheels on C2s

I am getting my carrera sport wheels painted gloss black face with the inside lip being painted red to match the brake calipers. should be very interesting when it's done... thanks to the shop the also were able to loan me wheels off a turbo. they fit very agrresive, makes me want to maybe throw on some spacers now. here are some pics of the loaner wheels.

Those lobsters came off a turbo? Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the lobster (I have them on my own C4S), but I've never seen them on a turbo!

Please post pics of your wheels once they're painted, sounds interesting.

Did the shop paint these or Powder coat them? They look great, I have a set of Lobsters sitting around I have been debating doing the same thing with them. I am not sure how they will look on the Seal Gray.

The wheels were dismounted and re-trued (they ride sooooo smooth now) there was a slight vibration from 60-80. To paint the whole face and lip you probably would have to dismount the tires.

WB come with 305s. The optional Carrera Sport wheels are 1/2" inch wider with same NB backspacing so they push out the wheels 1/4". The tire lip on the OP pic looks like the lip on the PS2s but the tread is still within the fender. My RE-11s do not have the 'lip' but they have square shoulders compared to the PS2s. Pending mfg spec, 305s can fit on an 19"x11" rim. I like the Carrera Sport rims and the Lobsters. I didn't know Lobster wheels where available in WB spec.
