The curb rash was terrible on a couple of them. I mean REALLY bad. Just unacceptable, but I loved this style of wheel so I got the set anyway. So I stripped off the paint, then applied bondo to the curb rash and sanded them down to 220 (Despite my various concerns about using that for this application a google search returns a LOT of results of people using this method with very good results):



Then I took them up to 320 grit and got them all ready for paint.




I really like the aluminum/polished aluminum look, but I didnt know about this aluminum filler called "lab metal" yet... if I did I would have used that. It would have worked much better for this application, but it's too late now. But since I had bondo all over the lips to cover the curb rash, paint was necessary. I spent a lot of time deliberating on what color to paint them. I didnt want to go black because I think black wheels look horrible ,and I didnt want to go silver because I just hate painted silver wheels. Aluminum is silver and looks better. I'd rather just leave it as is.

I ended up going with this hyperblack wannabe color (I had originally planned to go hyper black, and I will eventually, but it's just a matter of not having the resources to do that at the moment) but unfortunately it turned out a lot darker than I had hoped it would. But it still looks pretty interesting. Not sure if I'll leave it this way for when it goes on the car, but I think it might grow on me.

The rims are 15x8s and are whatever the stock backspacing was on those cars. I also picked up a set of 245/60R15 tires that are basically brand new. Are these too tall to run all the way around. Dont want a 4wd look to the car.

The 91 currently has 225/60R15s up from and 275/60R15s in the back on the factory wheels.

Would this setup look good on the car? I plan on painting the car white with hugger orange stripes this winter/spring.

i worked at a pep boys for 8 months, but i was just the low man, oil changes and tires and such, so i never bothered to learn much about tire sizes...
any help would be greatly appreciated, and cookies may be in order to who ever helps. :p ]]> Wheels and Tires sakattack28 http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/wheels-tires/549820-cheap-good-tires.html Hurst Wheels - I want them! http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/wheels-tires/549807-hurst-wheels-i-want.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:29:27 GMT Wheels Hurst puts on their Challengers, Mustangs, and pretty much any car they do.

My only question is will the 10" rim stick out past the edge of the fender with a 10" tread tire with 4.5" back spacing and 0 offset? The fronts are going to be 8" rims with skinnier tires.

Im thinking about powder coating the interior of the rim blue to match my car and leaving the lip polished along with the lugs and center cap.
