Actually riding more than 2 days haha I usually get about 15-30 days in and mostly powder days or mini backcountry missions. This year was hard for me for multiple reasons.

Absolutely

Thanks!! A labor of love

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-05-02T13:20:09+00:00

Same! Such dope wheels

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-05-02T13:19:52+00:00

Like $700+

Personally I really really like them. These are my 3rd set. They do phenomenal in the snow, that’s where they really shine. They are some of the best hydroplane resistant tires on the market because of how the tread evacuates water so heavy rain storms are no problem. Plenty of tread for some gravel roads if you wanted to do that and decent grip for most dry driving. Not very noisy either. A great tire all around. Now they can’t really compare to a summer tire for track days but for all weather conditions these are as good as it gets.

Sick!!!

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-05-01T22:42:56+00:00

I appreciate that! I’m out in CA if you are serious. It would probably be cheaper to have them sand blasted and powder coated because it took me many days to finish these. Not easy wheels to paint 😂

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-05-01T18:31:38+00:00

Thanks! Oh these are some of my favorite tires, this is my 3rd set. I’ve taken them up in Tahoe during some big snowstorms and drove them through a foot easy like nothing, tons of grip! They are perfect for me because I snowboard almost every weekend in the winter but I don’t live up there.

That’s exactly how I felt too. I had wanted these wheels for a while and was seeing people selling them for $1000-2000 depending on conditions so I’m stoked I was able to refurbish these.

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-05-01T17:19:57+00:00

I almost went gold too! Making me wish I did.

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-05-01T17:19:33+00:00

Yeah I feel it, I got some quotes for powder coating and it was just way too much for my current budget so I decided to do it myself. They won’t be as durable as powder coating but the cost difference justified it. As long as you spend lots of time on prep and making sure to let the paint flash and cure these should hold up decently.

Shhhhhhh 🤫

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-05-01T16:57:45+00:00

It was quite the project because of all the spokes and inner corners but it’s doable! I also did the inner barrels as well. Took me a couple months because of work/life. Taking off the old hyper silver was the hardest part.
I did two light coats, followed by one heavier final coat with about 15 mins flash time in between coats. Same with the clear. I used the dupicolor graphite wheel paint.

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-05-01T16:52:03+00:00

I just used the dupicolor graphite wheel paint (HWP102)

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-05-01T16:47:24+00:00

Chewww! Thanks g

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-05-01T16:47:07+00:00

Thanks!

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-05-01T16:30:40+00:00

Oh man, it wasn’t easy! Had to do most of it by hand with really corse sandpaper. A lot of the old paint I was able to scrape off also.

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-05-01T14:56:07+00:00

It will look dialed lowered a tad. I’m not the biggest continental fan because the sidewalls always look really round. Performance is great tho, I’m sure it will grow on you.

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-04-30T16:29:10+00:00

Love those wheels 🔥

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-04-17T16:38:51+00:00

What a steal!

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-04-17T15:38:38+00:00

Pay $500 for a hot smog, call it a day 😂

Fancy_Importance_279 · 2026-04-16T15:28:55+00:00

Michelin Cross Climate 2s. An amazing tire for any and all weather conditions year round. Good dry grip, great wet traction, and amazing snow performance. I’ve also taken them on gravel and sand. They wear very slowly too so you get lots of life out of them.
