DIY Brushed Aluminum door handles/wheel tease Haters Get ready :) (your mom has 56k)

Allright so I got some chrome door handle covers. brushed them horizontally with a scuff pad and clear coated them. I only used the insert parts on the handles and not the full cover.

Its certainly not for everyone and of course it is slightly rediculous. But alas, they are different and I like them

Also i put i few more (final)wheel teasers. haha They will be on this week I swear!

And now the fun part.... Haters, COMMENCE HATING!!!!

LOVE the wheels. No care... LOVE EM!
Only thing I dont like is they remind me of those daisy wheels made for the New Beetle.

A lot of people are going to ask about those center caps.

I am not a fan of either as of right now. We will see once the wheels are on the car you could change my mind on those.

Thank you, thank you. I just sanded the shit out of them and painted them and the H's are stickers.

The car is lowered. But, im putting 205 40s on them so they will actually be the same diameter as the stock wheels. Just an inch wider and slightly lower offset. Shouldnt be too bad.

Do you have any pics of them on your car?

not feeling the handles but having it brushed is waaaaaaayyy better than having them chrome. I do think that once you get the mini wheels on, ur car will flow much nicer.

Yeah, they are retarded heavy. Like alomst 25 pounds I think. HAHA But I am going to run them anyways. Partially because I already had them, but mostly because I am an asshole.

Those mini wheels are extremely heavy! I had a set once. They are like 30lbs! w/o the tire! They look cool though.
