goldleaf rim

b. Gold is soft enough that if you bite it it leaves an indent. Not
that many people would be stupid enough to make a rim out of it.

Not that many people would be biting their rims either.

That rim looks sweet.

Where'd you get it from, how much, etc?

Anyways, yeah real gold would be expensive. I meant Gold PLATED.

Gold also weighs a crapload.

It probably is real gold LEAF though, gold leaf is pretty inexpensive,
and it makes that wheel look Pimp.

Yeah, but if you bottomed out a gold rim would practicaly blow up.

i did it myself

bought the rim from a feller on here,

all it takes is some sanding thin coat of size (special glue), let dry.
then a covering with gold leaf(which i grabbed up from work), smoothing
out, and a bunch of layers or clear enamel. i dont think i went thin
enough with the size. so it may not last as long as it could...
the leaves are very thin, and tho it is not real gold. real gold leaf
would still not weigh much at all.
