first, pic is pretty crappy...no there aren't lil bubbles or whatever in my paint lol...pry just cuz it's fresh paint...look good now

well, i got one wheel done last weekend...here's what it looks like...i may still consider sanding and polishing them to look like chrome, but they look pretty good on the car in black (only chrome is around the windows, the hood pins, and the antenna...)

need to get some center caps...pry gonna be chrome bullet centers

It might look good just to polish the outer lip of the wheel.

I wonder if you could make a dog dish center cap mount on one of those. You would have to make a mounting bracket, but it might look cool.

one more reason for black is that i don't have the time to keep them polished up, so black will be a good substitute...i think it goes with the RTS look i'm going to simulate, but def not copy...i thought about polishing the lip on them, but again...too little time to mess with....another thing is that i don't have my garage i had in high school...one more reason for the freshening...getting some paint damage, etc. from sitting in the parking lot :mad:
