I agree, after I saw it in the light, I noticed its very uneven.

Ill try again with a spinning jig

you should get some celica supras or somthing I think the stock pizza cutters look horrible I think it will be evn worse when they are painted

I pulled my lathe out, and geared it waaay down, chucked up a spare axle, and now the paint is REALLY even

looks like your getting better at painting wheels. I think it looks pretty cool. I am one of the few that like the stock pizza cutters (hubcapless) on an ae86. I like the celica-supra's as well.

the painting skill is nice i'll give you that. i guess what doesn't do it for me is the colors you chose and the fact that your not following any certin line when painting it. like the lip one color and rest another ect...

there is a line, I put the nozzle right on the inside lip and get overspray on the spokes.

But I like bright colors like purple, green, orange, blue, red.

what i mean is its not even, like around the lip where its white and stuff. or it might just be due to the flash.

the ones done on the lathe, I can assure you are 100% even. As if they were done by a machine.
