I would like to have a pic post of all the different things people have done to their late Formula wheels (the 16's with the rivets around the edge.) I'm looking for ideas on different paint schemes, polishing, etc.

I've done a search and there's a few things out there, but I'm hoping to get some more ideas.

So far, polished to a mirror shine is what I've liked best, but I'm looking for other ideas. Photoshops are welcomed. I have a red 91 with RA-II.

 

This is the wheel I'm talking about... I'll be getting these today to replace my very similar 15" 85-90 T/A wheels currently on the car.

 

I'll start posting what I've already found.

Polished with inner spokes painted (novass wheel):

 

Dark grey painted inner spokes (like the 85-90 T/A wheels). Badazz86z28's car.

 

they look good the stock way polished with the insert painted black.

 

Mods, the images from this post on are linked.

Painted black with polished lip (Photoshop from Zepher's car):

Note: THESE ARE THE T/A 15" WHEELS AND NOT THE ONES I'M TALKING ABOUT, but they give more ideas.

Red inserts:

 

Ward's wheels:

 

Wow!
I like them all!
I was thinking of doing the 15s with the red incerts!
And 16 inch Diamond Spokes in black!

I have the non-dished style Formula rims. I was going to polish the entire wheel but I got a little lazy and just did the lip. Then I painted everything else black. I think they look pretty nice.

 

I think a polished lip, a medium charcoal style gray on the exposed face of the wheel and a lighter grey for the inserts to really make the wheels pop. Use the lilghter gray for the rivets and the "Pontiac" logo in the wheel and then some centercaps painted that charcoal gray to match. The insert for the centercap could be the Pontiac arrowhead or even the black with silver WS6 lettering.

 

Wards rim looks amazing!
