That SR valve cover is sick.

The wheels, not so much.

just write "I love men" down the side of your car, will give you the same effect as the wheels with the rainbow on them.

they will be 19x10.5 +15 in the rear, so I'll have a nice size lip, and its getting a "no homo" sticker on it.

I like the look, and not too many people have it. Double win

It was pretty neat to see him change the color of metal from green , red, purple, blue, to multi color using water and electricity. There was probably a few other steps that I don't remember seeing, but I remember the water and electricity. He used several combinations of negative and positive shock on the jewelry to change the color. It was bad ass. One combination would make it look like that valve color and the wheels posted above.

its a chemical process using high electric charges. just a technique of anodizing. there is a way to achieve it with nickel plating as well.
