I wanted to show how my wheels turned out. I had already had my wife’s ZX3 set up with separate winter and summer tires & wheels. I had always wanted a set of Euros in black, so when offered the chance to buy a set of very ratty ones cheap from a friend who was running his SVTF in NASA TimeTrials, I did. I cleaned them a bit, then took them to a friend who does powder coating. I’m very happy with how they turned out, and am enjoying having separate summer tires now.

When I brought them home showing a few years of track use:
