Terminator Double Wrapped Wheel Install

[ViciousBlack97]

So the stock wheel had started to fall apart pretty bad, and I've been keeping my eyes on Terminator wheels due to the extra thickness they provide. I bought a Midnight Black wheel knowing it wouldn't truly match the factory black interior, and decided to use SEM products to change the color. I've had great results with the center console, and hope to have the same with the wheel. If you guys want any tips to do the same, I'll answer any questions you have.

I would love to know more about the wheel wrap material and how to get it.

See, that's the great thing. This is a factory Ford wheel from an 03-04 Cobra. All I had to do was match the interior color, and it is a huge upgrade from the factory single wrapped wheels in our cars.

I wouldn't have thought that the paint would hold up on the steering wheel.

That came out great, not sure how long it will last on the steering wheel though.

Not a fan of the FR500 wheel?

Yeah, I really have to wonder how long the paint will last before you see signs of wearing off. If it's laying on the material and is not absorbed into the material, isn't it going to wear off from contact with your hands? Looks nice, though.

Honestly, for the 79 dollars I paid for this wheel, if the coating starts to flake I'll probably pick up an FR500 wheel. But the product isn't regular paint, it's more of a second flexible coating that bonds to the substrate below it. Just like all SEM stuff, as long as you follow their directions to the T it should turn out great.

Also, for anyone who is curious, I used SEM classic coat. The part number is 17093 if you would like to check out the tech data sheet.

Love it! Nice cheap mod! When it starts showing signs of wear, just hit it again with another coat!

FYI, the 03 anniversary and 04 Mystichrome steering wheels are even nicer. They have a different shape to them.

Yeah, the anniversary wheels are going for pretty steep prices currently, I think last I checked they were all 500+. Plus I would hate to cover up that awesome carbon fiber pattern haha.

Just as an update, the wheel is holding up great to daily driving use. I love the thickness of the wheel versus the stock one, and it has improved my driving experience a surprising amount.

Two year update, the coating is holding strong. Honestly, there's been no chipping or fading. I'm extremely impressed with how it's held up, especially with this being a car that isn't garaged. That may change after its date with the paint booth though.

Nice to hear that the paint product is holding up well after two years. Very impressive!
