Tulips Wheel

I got Tulips wheels from Hoop the other day... This wheel has really made me think twice about the Walker Evans wheels. I really like the Black wheel... The polished ring is actually one of Hoop's rings because I took Tulip's to be powder coated along with his CO2 tank...

I took a Monster can and matched up the color. It ended up being called Granny Smith Apple Green. They will first coat them with a chrome silver to make the green more vibrant and flashy and then the green goes on... After that they will have a third powder coating that is a clear with a mini gold flake!!! KA-POW! MEGA TITS!!! I say the same color coated on a bicycle frame without the metal flake and it was really vibrant and a deep color. I saw in one of the sample templates the same color with the flake and it really makes it all shine!!!

Very nice choice... As soon as the green rings are done I will post pics before mounted and after mounted with tires...

They really are sweet with the black though and with his black and green buggy they will really pop.

They will pop...are you gay? LOL Can't believe that came out of your head.......LMAO

Ok These pics look pretty cool but still dont portray how cool the color is but you get the idea...

JOSH

Sweet, I might just have to kiss you on the mouth!!!! Looks really good man, nice choice fo sho cuz.

ring with the wheel.



JOSH

this is another one without the flash trying to get the full justice of the flake. It just dont work though,,,

Later I will mount them up to the tires and I will weigh the wheel before and after mounting.



JOSH

Damn that looks SSAAAAAAWWWWEEEEETTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

Weighed the wheel with the ring and bolts.



JOSH

because the wheels are powder coated also the threads were not in shape to be wadding bolts into. I tapped every hole. I would have mounted the tires on but I forgot to pickup valve stems and lugnuts. Tomorrow for that...

JOSH

Nice, 41 pounds.

What they are mounted yet. Come awn I am waiting with baited breath here. LOL Just messin with you man. Seriously, they look good.

In post 6 of this page you can see the lug nuts I have are just open ended acorn nuts and there is jsut barely some sticking out and will be hard to get on and off with out rounding them off or scratching the wheel so when i come up in a couple weeks we will go shopping for lug nuts.

Also I installed super short valve stems so not to pull them off with rocks...

JOSH

man it looks awesome. good work.
