Hi, i have the R98's and i had them powder coated black. they looks really nice but maybe do the inside black and the outer rim red for yours? One piece of advice is to make sure you use locktite and torque the bolts up when you put it back together. Also make sure all the threads are clean as after i had mine shot blasted and powder coated there was alot of sand left in the bottom of each thread and it wouldnt allow the bolts to go all the way in and i ended up breaking 2.

Good luck

cheers for the advice the loctite and clean threads/holes makes sense..

having them lathed back to a polished edge, and bright white centers to go with the roof maybe a little cheeky flake in it
